Lets's calculate LCM of 71,891
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 63261
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/63261
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 992/71,687/891 is 1/63261
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 71,891 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(71,891) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(71,891) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(71,891) = ( 71 × 891 ) / 1
LCM(71,891) = 63261 / 1
LCM(71,891) = 63261
