Lets's calculate LCM of 987,7939
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7835793
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/7835793
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7449/987,4374/7939 is 3/7835793
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 987,7939 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(987,7939) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(987,7939) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(987,7939) = ( 987 × 7939 ) / 1
LCM(987,7939) = 7835793 / 1
LCM(987,7939) = 7835793
