Lets's calculate LCM of 174,5197
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 904278
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/904278
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8857/174,6312/5197 is 1/904278
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 174,5197 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(174,5197) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(174,5197) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(174,5197) = ( 174 × 5197 ) / 1
LCM(174,5197) = 904278 / 1
LCM(174,5197) = 904278
