Lets's calculate LCM of 836,9609
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8033124
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/8033124
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 266/836,4638/9609 is 2/8033124
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 836,9609 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(836,9609) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(836,9609) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(836,9609) = ( 836 × 9609 ) / 1
LCM(836,9609) = 8033124 / 1
LCM(836,9609) = 8033124
