Lets's calculate LCM of 263,487
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 128081
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/128081
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5909/263,3942/487 is 1/128081
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 263,487 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(263,487) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(263,487) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(263,487) = ( 263 × 487 ) / 1
LCM(263,487) = 128081 / 1
LCM(263,487) = 128081
