Lets's calculate LCM of 872,663
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 578136
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/578136
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7473/872,1743/663 is 3/578136
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 872,663 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(872,663) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(872,663) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(872,663) = ( 872 × 663 ) / 1
LCM(872,663) = 578136 / 1
LCM(872,663) = 578136
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
