Lets's calculate LCM of 316,987
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 311892
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/311892
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 860/316,358/987 is 2/311892
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 316,987 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(316,987) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(316,987) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(316,987) = ( 316 × 987 ) / 1
LCM(316,987) = 311892 / 1
LCM(316,987) = 311892
