Lets's calculate LCM of 863,5176
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4466888
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/4466888
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 117/863,5172/5176 is 3/4466888
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 863,5176 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(863,5176) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(863,5176) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(863,5176) = ( 863 × 5176 ) / 1
LCM(863,5176) = 4466888 / 1
LCM(863,5176) = 4466888
