Lets's calculate LCM of 871,8994
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7833774
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/7833774
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1264/871,2376/8994 is 8/7833774
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 871,8994 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(871,8994) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(871,8994) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(871,8994) = ( 871 × 8994 ) / 1
LCM(871,8994) = 7833774 / 1
LCM(871,8994) = 7833774
