Lets's calculate LCM of 312,649
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 202488
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/202488
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 172/312,8839/649 is 1/202488
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 312,649 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(312,649) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(312,649) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(312,649) = ( 312 × 649 ) / 1
LCM(312,649) = 202488 / 1
LCM(312,649) = 202488
