Lets's calculate LCM of 487,958
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 466546
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/466546
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 355/487,856/958 is 1/466546
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 487,958 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(487,958) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(487,958) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(487,958) = ( 487 × 958 ) / 1
LCM(487,958) = 466546 / 1
LCM(487,958) = 466546
