So the greatest common factor 8872,5445 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 853,317
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 270401
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/270401
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8872/853,5445/317 is 1/270401
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 853,317 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(853,317) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(853,317) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(853,317) = ( 853 × 317 ) / 1
LCM(853,317) = 270401 / 1
LCM(853,317) = 270401
