Lets's calculate LCM of 987,7540
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7441980
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/7441980
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4482/987,8473/7540 is 1/7441980
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 987,7540 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(987,7540) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(987,7540) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(987,7540) = ( 987 × 7540 ) / 1
LCM(987,7540) = 7441980 / 1
LCM(987,7540) = 7441980
