Lets's calculate LCM of 332,987
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 327684
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/327684
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2176/332,4329/987 is 1/327684
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 332,987 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(332,987) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(332,987) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(332,987) = ( 332 × 987 ) / 1
LCM(332,987) = 327684 / 1
LCM(332,987) = 327684
