Lets's calculate LCM of 278,879
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 244362
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/244362
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 887/278,693/879 is 1/244362
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 278,879 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(278,879) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(278,879) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(278,879) = ( 278 × 879 ) / 1
LCM(278,879) = 244362 / 1
LCM(278,879) = 244362
