So the greatest common factor 958,162 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 872,993
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 865896
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/865896
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 958/872,162/993 is 2/865896
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 872,993 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(872,993) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(872,993) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(872,993) = ( 872 × 993 ) / 1
LCM(872,993) = 865896 / 1
LCM(872,993) = 865896
