Lets's calculate LCM of 471,859
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 404589
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 31/404589
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 155/471,868/859 is 31/404589
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 471,859 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(471,859) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(471,859) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(471,859) = ( 471 × 859 ) / 1
LCM(471,859) = 404589 / 1
LCM(471,859) = 404589
