Lets's calculate LCM of 279,6986
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1949094
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1949094
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 871/279,7562/6986 is 1/1949094
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 279,6986 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(279,6986) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(279,6986) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(279,6986) = ( 279 × 6986 ) / 1
LCM(279,6986) = 1949094 / 1
LCM(279,6986) = 1949094
