Lets's calculate LCM of 281,417
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 117177
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/117177
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 983/281,5844/417 is 1/117177
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 281,417 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(281,417) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(281,417) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(281,417) = ( 281 × 417 ) / 1
LCM(281,417) = 117177 / 1
LCM(281,417) = 117177
