Lets's calculate LCM of 876,6071
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5318196
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5318196
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5991/876,8942/6071 is 1/5318196
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 876,6071 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(876,6071) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(876,6071) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(876,6071) = ( 876 × 6071 ) / 1
LCM(876,6071) = 5318196 / 1
LCM(876,6071) = 5318196
