Lets's calculate LCM of 173,415
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 71795
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/71795
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 886/173,782/415 is 2/71795
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 173,415 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(173,415) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(173,415) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(173,415) = ( 173 × 415 ) / 1
LCM(173,415) = 71795 / 1
LCM(173,415) = 71795
