Lets's calculate LCM of 431,9877
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4256987
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4256987
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 53/431,8542/9877 is 1/4256987
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 431,9877 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(431,9877) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(431,9877) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(431,9877) = ( 431 × 9877 ) / 1
LCM(431,9877) = 4256987 / 1
LCM(431,9877) = 4256987
