Lets's calculate LCM of 602,859
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 517118
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/517118
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8870/602,1336/859 is 2/517118
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 602,859 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(602,859) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(602,859) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(602,859) = ( 602 × 859 ) / 1
LCM(602,859) = 517118 / 1
LCM(602,859) = 517118
