Lets's calculate LCM of 942,871
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 820482
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/820482
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8578/942,6066/871 is 2/820482
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 942,871 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(942,871) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(942,871) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(942,871) = ( 942 × 871 ) / 1
LCM(942,871) = 820482 / 1
LCM(942,871) = 820482
