Lets's calculate LCM of 277,4858
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1345666
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1345666
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8988/277,8431/4858 is 1/1345666
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 277,4858 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(277,4858) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(277,4858) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(277,4858) = ( 277 × 4858 ) / 1
LCM(277,4858) = 1345666 / 1
LCM(277,4858) = 1345666
