So the greatest common factor 872,616 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 147,712
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 104664
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/104664
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 872/147,616/712 is 8/104664
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 147,712 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(147,712) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(147,712) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(147,712) = ( 147 × 712 ) / 1
LCM(147,712) = 104664 / 1
LCM(147,712) = 104664
