Lets's calculate LCM of 873,520
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 453960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/453960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8623/873,3198/520 is 1/453960
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 873,520 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(873,520) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(873,520) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(873,520) = ( 873 × 520 ) / 1
LCM(873,520) = 453960 / 1
LCM(873,520) = 453960
