Lets's calculate LCM of 208,5833
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1213264
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1213264
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7437/208,8865/5833 is 3/1213264
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 208,5833 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(208,5833) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(208,5833) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(208,5833) = ( 208 × 5833 ) / 1
LCM(208,5833) = 1213264 / 1
LCM(208,5833) = 1213264
