Lets's calculate LCM of 861,8563
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7372743
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/7372743
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8708/861,3798/8563 is 2/7372743
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 861,8563 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(861,8563) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(861,8563) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(861,8563) = ( 861 × 8563 ) / 1
LCM(861,8563) = 7372743 / 1
LCM(861,8563) = 7372743
