Lets's calculate LCM of 206,987
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 203322
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/203322
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2228/206,1560/987 is 4/203322
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 206,987 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(206,987) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(206,987) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(206,987) = ( 206 × 987 ) / 1
LCM(206,987) = 203322 / 1
LCM(206,987) = 203322
