So the greatest common factor 312,435 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 987,401
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 395787
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/395787
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 312/987,435/401 is 3/395787
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 987,401 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(987,401) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(987,401) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(987,401) = ( 987 × 401 ) / 1
LCM(987,401) = 395787 / 1
LCM(987,401) = 395787
