So the greatest common factor 989,996 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 587,881
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 517147
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/517147
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 989/587,996/881 is 1/517147
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 587,881 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(587,881) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(587,881) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(587,881) = ( 587 × 881 ) / 1
LCM(587,881) = 517147 / 1
LCM(587,881) = 517147
