Lets's calculate LCM of 446,871
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 388466
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/388466
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 255/446,584/871 is 1/388466
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 446,871 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(446,871) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(446,871) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(446,871) = ( 446 × 871 ) / 1
LCM(446,871) = 388466 / 1
LCM(446,871) = 388466
