Lets's calculate LCM of 867,461
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 399687
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/399687
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9256/867,4860/461 is 4/399687
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 867,461 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(867,461) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(867,461) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(867,461) = ( 867 × 461 ) / 1
LCM(867,461) = 399687 / 1
LCM(867,461) = 399687
