Lets's calculate LCM of 287,2097
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 601839
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/601839
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4964/287,8721/2097 is 17/601839
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 287,2097 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(287,2097) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(287,2097) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(287,2097) = ( 287 × 2097 ) / 1
LCM(287,2097) = 601839 / 1
LCM(287,2097) = 601839
