So the greatest common factor 4422,2895 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 987,208
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 205296
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/205296
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4422/987,2895/208 is 3/205296
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 987,208 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(987,208) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(987,208) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(987,208) = ( 987 × 208 ) / 1
LCM(987,208) = 205296 / 1
LCM(987,208) = 205296
