Lets's calculate LCM of 563,8836
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4974668
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 119/4974668
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8687/563,4046/8836 is 119/4974668
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 563,8836 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(563,8836) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(563,8836) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(563,8836) = ( 563 × 8836 ) / 1
LCM(563,8836) = 4974668 / 1
LCM(563,8836) = 4974668
