Lets's calculate LCM of 158,917
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 144886
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/144886
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8515/158,8744/917 is 1/144886
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 158,917 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(158,917) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(158,917) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(158,917) = ( 158 × 917 ) / 1
LCM(158,917) = 144886 / 1
LCM(158,917) = 144886
