Lets's calculate LCM of 3712,8827
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 32765824
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/32765824
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 873/3712,216/8827 is 9/32765824
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 3712,8827 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(3712,8827) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(3712,8827) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(3712,8827) = ( 3712 × 8827 ) / 1
LCM(3712,8827) = 32765824 / 1
LCM(3712,8827) = 32765824
