Lets's calculate LCM of 479,343
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 164297
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/164297
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5887/479,7260/343 is 1/164297
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 479,343 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(479,343) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(479,343) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(479,343) = ( 479 × 343 ) / 1
LCM(479,343) = 164297 / 1
LCM(479,343) = 164297
