Lets's calculate LCM of 687,6847
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4703889
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/4703889
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5532/687,8480/6847 is 4/4703889
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 687,6847 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(687,6847) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(687,6847) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(687,6847) = ( 687 × 6847 ) / 1
LCM(687,6847) = 4703889 / 1
LCM(687,6847) = 4703889
