Lets's calculate LCM of 187,4709
17 | 187, 4709 |
11, 277 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 17 x 11 x 277 = 51799
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/51799
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8974/187,2577/4709 is 1/51799
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 187,4709 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(187,4709) = 17
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(187,4709) x common factors =17 x 1 = 17
LCM(187,4709) = ( 187 × 4709 ) / 17
LCM(187,4709) = 880583 / 17
LCM(187,4709) = 51799
