Lets's calculate LCM of 866,7203
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6237798
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/6237798
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/866,3855/7203 is 3/6237798
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 866,7203 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(866,7203) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(866,7203) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(866,7203) = ( 866 × 7203 ) / 1
LCM(866,7203) = 6237798 / 1
LCM(866,7203) = 6237798
