Lets's calculate LCM of 117,677
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 79209
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/79209
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5874/117,2196/677 is 6/79209
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 117,677 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(117,677) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(117,677) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(117,677) = ( 117 × 677 ) / 1
LCM(117,677) = 79209 / 1
LCM(117,677) = 79209
