So the greatest common factor 2996,8872 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 43,829
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 35647
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/35647
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2996/43,8872/829 is 4/35647
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 43,829 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(43,829) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(43,829) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(43,829) = ( 43 × 829 ) / 1
LCM(43,829) = 35647 / 1
LCM(43,829) = 35647
