Lets's calculate LCM of 237,857
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 203109
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/203109
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6072/237,3047/857 is 11/203109
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 237,857 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(237,857) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(237,857) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(237,857) = ( 237 × 857 ) / 1
LCM(237,857) = 203109 / 1
LCM(237,857) = 203109
