Lets's calculate LCM of 418,7987
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3338566
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3338566
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5398/418,3164/7987 is 2/3338566
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 418,7987 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(418,7987) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(418,7987) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(418,7987) = ( 418 × 7987 ) / 1
LCM(418,7987) = 3338566 / 1
LCM(418,7987) = 3338566
