Lets's calculate LCM of 472,3887
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1834664
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/1834664
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6555/472,3605/3887 is 5/1834664
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 472,3887 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(472,3887) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(472,3887) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(472,3887) = ( 472 × 3887 ) / 1
LCM(472,3887) = 1834664 / 1
LCM(472,3887) = 1834664
