Lets's calculate LCM of 281,4987
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1401347
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/1401347
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2828/281,3962/4987 is 14/1401347
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 281,4987 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(281,4987) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(281,4987) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(281,4987) = ( 281 × 4987 ) / 1
LCM(281,4987) = 1401347 / 1
LCM(281,4987) = 1401347
