Lets's calculate LCM of 711,2087
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1483857
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1483857
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5950/711,8616/2087 is 2/1483857
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 711,2087 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(711,2087) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(711,2087) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(711,2087) = ( 711 × 2087 ) / 1
LCM(711,2087) = 1483857 / 1
LCM(711,2087) = 1483857
