So the greatest common factor 1055,8170 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 477,2987
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1424799
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/1424799
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1055/477,8170/2987 is 5/1424799
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 477,2987 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(477,2987) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(477,2987) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(477,2987) = ( 477 × 2987 ) / 1
LCM(477,2987) = 1424799 / 1
LCM(477,2987) = 1424799
