Lets's calculate LCM of 987,526
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 519162
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/519162
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 994/987,3306/526 is 2/519162
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 987,526 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(987,526) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(987,526) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(987,526) = ( 987 × 526 ) / 1
LCM(987,526) = 519162 / 1
LCM(987,526) = 519162
