We found the factors 5176,8612 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5176,8612 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 203,8408
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1706824
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/1706824
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5176/203,8612/8408 is 4/1706824
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 203,8408 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(203,8408) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(203,8408) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(203,8408) = ( 203 × 8408 ) / 1
LCM(203,8408) = 1706824 / 1
LCM(203,8408) = 1706824
