We found the factors 3516,8658 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3516,8658 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 861,5882
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5064402
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/5064402
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3516/861,8658/5882 is 6/5064402
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 861,5882 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(861,5882) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(861,5882) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(861,5882) = ( 861 × 5882 ) / 1
LCM(861,5882) = 5064402 / 1
LCM(861,5882) = 5064402
