So the greatest common factor 8504,4456 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 976,317
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 309392
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/309392
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8504/976,4456/317 is 8/309392
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 976,317 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(976,317) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(976,317) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(976,317) = ( 976 × 317 ) / 1
LCM(976,317) = 309392 / 1
LCM(976,317) = 309392
