Lets's calculate LCM of 879,8591
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7551489
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/7551489
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2962/879,7631/8591 is 1/7551489
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 879,8591 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(879,8591) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(879,8591) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(879,8591) = ( 879 × 8591 ) / 1
LCM(879,8591) = 7551489 / 1
LCM(879,8591) = 7551489
