Lets's calculate LCM of 80,8741
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 699280
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/699280
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 168/80,874/8741 is 2/699280
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 80,8741 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(80,8741) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(80,8741) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(80,8741) = ( 80 × 8741 ) / 1
LCM(80,8741) = 699280 / 1
LCM(80,8741) = 699280
