Lets's calculate LCM of 587,8404
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4933148
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4933148
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2712/587,9937/8404 is 1/4933148
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 587,8404 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(587,8404) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(587,8404) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(587,8404) = ( 587 × 8404 ) / 1
LCM(587,8404) = 4933148 / 1
LCM(587,8404) = 4933148
