So the greatest common factor 866,874 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 252,349
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 87948
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/87948
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 866/252,874/349 is 2/87948
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 252,349 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(252,349) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(252,349) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(252,349) = ( 252 × 349 ) / 1
LCM(252,349) = 87948 / 1
LCM(252,349) = 87948
