Lets's calculate LCM of 274,937
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 256738
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/256738
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 867/274,527/937 is 17/256738
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 274,937 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(274,937) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(274,937) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(274,937) = ( 274 × 937 ) / 1
LCM(274,937) = 256738 / 1
LCM(274,937) = 256738
