Lets's calculate LCM of 979,287
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 280973
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/280973
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 264/979,589/287 is 1/280973
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 979,287 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(979,287) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(979,287) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(979,287) = ( 979 × 287 ) / 1
LCM(979,287) = 280973 / 1
LCM(979,287) = 280973
