Lets's calculate LCM of 587,787
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 461969
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/461969
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 904/587,394/787 is 2/461969
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 587,787 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(587,787) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(587,787) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(587,787) = ( 587 × 787 ) / 1
LCM(587,787) = 461969 / 1
LCM(587,787) = 461969
