Lets's calculate LCM of 869,577
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 501413
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 47/501413
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 517/869,987/577 is 47/501413
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 869,577 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(869,577) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(869,577) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(869,577) = ( 869 × 577 ) / 1
LCM(869,577) = 501413 / 1
LCM(869,577) = 501413
