Lets's calculate LCM of 236,821
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 193756
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 653/193756
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 653/236,5877/821 is 653/193756
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 236,821 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(236,821) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(236,821) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(236,821) = ( 236 × 821 ) / 1
LCM(236,821) = 193756 / 1
LCM(236,821) = 193756
