Lets's calculate LCM of 871,168
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 146328
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/146328
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 918/871,736/168 is 2/146328
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 871,168 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(871,168) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(871,168) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(871,168) = ( 871 × 168 ) / 1
LCM(871,168) = 146328 / 1
LCM(871,168) = 146328
