Lets's calculate LCM of 62,487
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 30194
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/30194
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 356/62,846/487 is 2/30194
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 62,487 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(62,487) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(62,487) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(62,487) = ( 62 × 487 ) / 1
LCM(62,487) = 30194 / 1
LCM(62,487) = 30194
