Lets's calculate LCM of 812,423
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 343476
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/343476
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1172/812,2498/423 is 2/343476
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 812,423 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(812,423) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(812,423) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(812,423) = ( 812 × 423 ) / 1
LCM(812,423) = 343476 / 1
LCM(812,423) = 343476
