Lets's calculate LCM of 857,283
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 242531
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/242531
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 722/857,9736/283 is 2/242531
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 857,283 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(857,283) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(857,283) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(857,283) = ( 857 × 283 ) / 1
LCM(857,283) = 242531 / 1
LCM(857,283) = 242531
