Lets's calculate LCM of 291,377
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 109707
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/109707
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 872/291,596/377 is 4/109707
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 291,377 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(291,377) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(291,377) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(291,377) = ( 291 × 377 ) / 1
LCM(291,377) = 109707 / 1
LCM(291,377) = 109707
