Lets's calculate LCM of 987,488
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 481656
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/481656
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 451/987,546/488 is 1/481656
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 987,488 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(987,488) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(987,488) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(987,488) = ( 987 × 488 ) / 1
LCM(987,488) = 481656 / 1
LCM(987,488) = 481656
