Lets's calculate LCM of 887,5541
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4914867
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4914867
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8954/887,1252/5541 is 2/4914867
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 887,5541 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(887,5541) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(887,5541) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(887,5541) = ( 887 × 5541 ) / 1
LCM(887,5541) = 4914867 / 1
LCM(887,5541) = 4914867
