So the greatest common factor 878,3444 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 32,793
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 25376
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/25376
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 878/32,3444/793 is 2/25376
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 32,793 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(32,793) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(32,793) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(32,793) = ( 32 × 793 ) / 1
LCM(32,793) = 25376 / 1
LCM(32,793) = 25376
