Lets's calculate LCM of 917,465
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 426405
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/426405
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5744/917,3544/465 is 8/426405
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 917,465 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(917,465) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(917,465) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(917,465) = ( 917 × 465 ) / 1
LCM(917,465) = 426405 / 1
LCM(917,465) = 426405
