Lets's calculate LCM of 838,7931
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6646178
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/6646178
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9986/838,3438/7931 is 2/6646178
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 838,7931 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(838,7931) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(838,7931) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(838,7931) = ( 838 × 7931 ) / 1
LCM(838,7931) = 6646178 / 1
LCM(838,7931) = 6646178
