Lets's calculate LCM of 873,118
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 103014
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/103014
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3219/873,6744/118 is 3/103014
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 873,118 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(873,118) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(873,118) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(873,118) = ( 873 × 118 ) / 1
LCM(873,118) = 103014 / 1
LCM(873,118) = 103014
