Lets's calculate LCM of 883,4833
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4267539
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/4267539
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5442/883,3342/4833 is 6/4267539
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 883,4833 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(883,4833) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(883,4833) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(883,4833) = ( 883 × 4833 ) / 1
LCM(883,4833) = 4267539 / 1
LCM(883,4833) = 4267539
