Lets's calculate LCM of 87,998
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 86826
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/86826
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 293/87,525/998 is 1/86826
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 87,998 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,998) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(87,998) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(87,998) = ( 87 × 998 ) / 1
LCM(87,998) = 86826 / 1
LCM(87,998) = 86826
