So the greatest common factor 2451,7940 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 987,3511
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3465357
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3465357
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2451/987,7940/3511 is 1/3465357
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 987,3511 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(987,3511) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(987,3511) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(987,3511) = ( 987 × 3511 ) / 1
LCM(987,3511) = 3465357 / 1
LCM(987,3511) = 3465357
