Lets's calculate LCM of 46,881
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 40526
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/40526
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 487/46,988/881 is 1/40526
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 46,881 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(46,881) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(46,881) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(46,881) = ( 46 × 881 ) / 1
LCM(46,881) = 40526 / 1
LCM(46,881) = 40526
