Lets's calculate LCM of 987,2693
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2657991
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2657991
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8435/987,2846/2693 is 1/2657991
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 987,2693 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(987,2693) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(987,2693) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(987,2693) = ( 987 × 2693 ) / 1
LCM(987,2693) = 2657991 / 1
LCM(987,2693) = 2657991
