Lets's calculate LCM of 387,4978
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1926486
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1926486
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8697/387,8960/4978 is 1/1926486
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 387,4978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(387,4978) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(387,4978) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(387,4978) = ( 387 × 4978 ) / 1
LCM(387,4978) = 1926486 / 1
LCM(387,4978) = 1926486
