So the greatest common factor 687,846 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 887,252
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 223524
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/223524
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 687/887,846/252 is 3/223524
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 887,252 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(887,252) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(887,252) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(887,252) = ( 887 × 252 ) / 1
LCM(887,252) = 223524 / 1
LCM(887,252) = 223524
