Lets's calculate LCM of 887,973
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 863051
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/863051
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 296/887,2715/973 is 1/863051
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 887,973 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(887,973) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(887,973) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(887,973) = ( 887 × 973 ) / 1
LCM(887,973) = 863051 / 1
LCM(887,973) = 863051
