Lets's calculate LCM of 866,497
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 430402
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/430402
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8579/866,4078/497 is 1/430402
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 866,497 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(866,497) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(866,497) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(866,497) = ( 866 × 497 ) / 1
LCM(866,497) = 430402 / 1
LCM(866,497) = 430402
