Lets's calculate LCM of 887,523
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 463901
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 132/463901
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 396/887,660/523 is 132/463901
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 887,523 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(887,523) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(887,523) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(887,523) = ( 887 × 523 ) / 1
LCM(887,523) = 463901 / 1
LCM(887,523) = 463901
