Lets's calculate LCM of 144,5989
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 862416
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/862416
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8865/144,2667/5989 is 3/862416
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 144,5989 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(144,5989) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(144,5989) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(144,5989) = ( 144 × 5989 ) / 1
LCM(144,5989) = 862416 / 1
LCM(144,5989) = 862416
