Lets's calculate LCM of 23,8647
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 198881
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/198881
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 128/23,987/8647 is 1/198881
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 23,8647 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(23,8647) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(23,8647) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(23,8647) = ( 23 × 8647 ) / 1
LCM(23,8647) = 198881 / 1
LCM(23,8647) = 198881
