Lets's calculate LCM of 853,751
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 640603
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/640603
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 118/853,948/751 is 2/640603
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 853,751 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(853,751) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(853,751) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(853,751) = ( 853 × 751 ) / 1
LCM(853,751) = 640603 / 1
LCM(853,751) = 640603
