Lets's calculate LCM of 887,267
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 236829
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/236829
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 324/887,868/267 is 4/236829
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 887,267 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(887,267) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(887,267) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(887,267) = ( 887 × 267 ) / 1
LCM(887,267) = 236829 / 1
LCM(887,267) = 236829
