Lets's calculate LCM of 946,871
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 823966
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/823966
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1239/946,7343/871 is 7/823966
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 946,871 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(946,871) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(946,871) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(946,871) = ( 946 × 871 ) / 1
LCM(946,871) = 823966 / 1
LCM(946,871) = 823966
