Lets's calculate LCM of 811,2421
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1963431
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1963431
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7842/811,8704/2421 is 2/1963431
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 811,2421 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(811,2421) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(811,2421) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(811,2421) = ( 811 × 2421 ) / 1
LCM(811,2421) = 1963431 / 1
LCM(811,2421) = 1963431
