Lets's calculate LCM of 949,8625
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8185125
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/8185125
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7188/949,8868/8625 is 12/8185125
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 949,8625 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(949,8625) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(949,8625) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(949,8625) = ( 949 × 8625 ) / 1
LCM(949,8625) = 8185125 / 1
LCM(949,8625) = 8185125
