Lets's calculate LCM of 217,3936
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 854112
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/854112
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4042/217,8886/3936 is 2/854112
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 217,3936 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(217,3936) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(217,3936) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(217,3936) = ( 217 × 3936 ) / 1
LCM(217,3936) = 854112 / 1
LCM(217,3936) = 854112
