Lets's calculate LCM of 488,8863
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4325144
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/4325144
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1287/488,3835/8863 is 13/4325144
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 488,8863 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(488,8863) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(488,8863) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(488,8863) = ( 488 × 8863 ) / 1
LCM(488,8863) = 4325144 / 1
LCM(488,8863) = 4325144
