Lets's calculate LCM of 89,359
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 31951
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/31951
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 266/89,986/359 is 2/31951
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 89,359 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(89,359) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(89,359) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(89,359) = ( 89 × 359 ) / 1
LCM(89,359) = 31951 / 1
LCM(89,359) = 31951
