Lets's calculate LCM of 809,817
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 660953
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/660953
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 252/809,879/817 is 3/660953
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 809,817 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(809,817) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(809,817) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(809,817) = ( 809 × 817 ) / 1
LCM(809,817) = 660953 / 1
LCM(809,817) = 660953
