Lets's calculate LCM of 487,876
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 426612
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/426612
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6407/487,3977/876 is 1/426612
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 487,876 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(487,876) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(487,876) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(487,876) = ( 487 × 876 ) / 1
LCM(487,876) = 426612 / 1
LCM(487,876) = 426612
