Lets's calculate LCM of 115,558
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 64170
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/64170
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 843/115,988/558 is 1/64170
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 115,558 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(115,558) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(115,558) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(115,558) = ( 115 × 558 ) / 1
LCM(115,558) = 64170 / 1
LCM(115,558) = 64170
