Lets's calculate LCM of 287,3994
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1146278
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1146278
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4079/287,8855/3994 is 1/1146278
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 287,3994 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(287,3994) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(287,3994) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(287,3994) = ( 287 × 3994 ) / 1
LCM(287,3994) = 1146278 / 1
LCM(287,3994) = 1146278
