Lets's calculate LCM of 287,5267
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1511629
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/1511629
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 988/287,8908/5267 is 4/1511629
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 287,5267 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(287,5267) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(287,5267) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(287,5267) = ( 287 × 5267 ) / 1
LCM(287,5267) = 1511629 / 1
LCM(287,5267) = 1511629
