Lets's calculate LCM of 470,187
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 87890
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/87890
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 886/470,940/187 is 2/87890
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 470,187 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(470,187) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(470,187) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(470,187) = ( 470 × 187 ) / 1
LCM(470,187) = 87890 / 1
LCM(470,187) = 87890
