Lets's calculate LCM of 587,3396
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1993452
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1993452
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4986/587,8887/3396 is 1/1993452
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 587,3396 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(587,3396) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(587,3396) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(587,3396) = ( 587 × 3396 ) / 1
LCM(587,3396) = 1993452 / 1
LCM(587,3396) = 1993452
