So the greatest common factor 716,4071 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 987,402
| 3 | 987, 402 |
| 329, 134 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 329 x 134 = 132258
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/132258
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 716/987,4071/402 is 1/132258
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 987,402 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(987,402) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(987,402) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(987,402) = ( 987 × 402 ) / 3
LCM(987,402) = 396774 / 3
LCM(987,402) = 132258
