So the greatest common factor 4416,4304 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 873,958
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 836334
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/836334
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4416/873,4304/958 is 16/836334
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 873,958 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(873,958) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(873,958) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(873,958) = ( 873 × 958 ) / 1
LCM(873,958) = 836334 / 1
LCM(873,958) = 836334
