Lets's calculate LCM of 868,885
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 768180
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/768180
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 357/868,393/885 is 3/768180
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 868,885 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(868,885) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(868,885) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(868,885) = ( 868 × 885 ) / 1
LCM(868,885) = 768180 / 1
LCM(868,885) = 768180
