Lets's calculate LCM of 440,943
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 414920
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/414920
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5588/440,3147/943 is 1/414920
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 440,943 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(440,943) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(440,943) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(440,943) = ( 440 × 943 ) / 1
LCM(440,943) = 414920 / 1
LCM(440,943) = 414920
