So the greatest common factor 1712,1870 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 787,318
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 250266
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/250266
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1712/787,1870/318 is 2/250266
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 787,318 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(787,318) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(787,318) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(787,318) = ( 787 × 318 ) / 1
LCM(787,318) = 250266 / 1
LCM(787,318) = 250266
