Lets's calculate LCM of 267,691
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 184497
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/184497
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 878/267,858/691 is 2/184497
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 267,691 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(267,691) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(267,691) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(267,691) = ( 267 × 691 ) / 1
LCM(267,691) = 184497 / 1
LCM(267,691) = 184497
