Lets's calculate LCM of 487,6821
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3321827
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3321827
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6297/487,5542/6821 is 1/3321827
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 487,6821 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(487,6821) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(487,6821) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(487,6821) = ( 487 × 6821 ) / 1
LCM(487,6821) = 3321827 / 1
LCM(487,6821) = 3321827
