So the greatest common factor 866,902 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 872,205
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 178760
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/178760
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 866/872,902/205 is 2/178760
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 872,205 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(872,205) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(872,205) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(872,205) = ( 872 × 205 ) / 1
LCM(872,205) = 178760 / 1
LCM(872,205) = 178760
