Lets's calculate LCM of 879,487
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 428073
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/428073
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1804/879,3184/487 is 4/428073
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 879,487 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(879,487) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(879,487) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(879,487) = ( 879 × 487 ) / 1
LCM(879,487) = 428073 / 1
LCM(879,487) = 428073
