Lets's calculate LCM of 884,613
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 541892
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/541892
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 144/884,306/613 is 18/541892
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 884,613 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(884,613) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(884,613) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(884,613) = ( 884 × 613 ) / 1
LCM(884,613) = 541892 / 1
LCM(884,613) = 541892
