Lets's calculate LCM of 859,990
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 850410
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/850410
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1572/859,8870/990 is 2/850410
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 859,990 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(859,990) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(859,990) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(859,990) = ( 859 × 990 ) / 1
LCM(859,990) = 850410 / 1
LCM(859,990) = 850410
