Lets's calculate LCM of 993,289
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 286977
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/286977
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5687/993,7872/289 is 1/286977
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 993,289 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(993,289) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(993,289) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(993,289) = ( 993 × 289 ) / 1
LCM(993,289) = 286977 / 1
LCM(993,289) = 286977
