Lets's calculate LCM of 989,2387
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2360743
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2360743
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4276/989,4538/2387 is 2/2360743
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 989,2387 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(989,2387) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(989,2387) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(989,2387) = ( 989 × 2387 ) / 1
LCM(989,2387) = 2360743 / 1
LCM(989,2387) = 2360743
