So the greatest common factor 5870,4988 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 877,874
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 766498
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/766498
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5870/877,4988/874 is 2/766498
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 877,874 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(877,874) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(877,874) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(877,874) = ( 877 × 874 ) / 1
LCM(877,874) = 766498 / 1
LCM(877,874) = 766498
