So the greatest common factor 9878,1572 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 857,4872
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4175304
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4175304
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9878/857,1572/4872 is 2/4175304
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 857,4872 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(857,4872) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(857,4872) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(857,4872) = ( 857 × 4872 ) / 1
LCM(857,4872) = 4175304 / 1
LCM(857,4872) = 4175304
