Lets's calculate LCM of 313,872
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 272936
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/272936
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6858/313,6648/872 is 6/272936
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 313,872 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(313,872) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(313,872) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(313,872) = ( 313 × 872 ) / 1
LCM(313,872) = 272936 / 1
LCM(313,872) = 272936
