Lets's calculate LCM of 817,140
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 114380
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/114380
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5216/817,5104/140 is 16/114380
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 817,140 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(817,140) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(817,140) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(817,140) = ( 817 × 140 ) / 1
LCM(817,140) = 114380 / 1
LCM(817,140) = 114380
