Lets's calculate LCM of 887,481
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 426647
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/426647
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2704/887,4518/481 is 2/426647
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 887,481 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(887,481) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(887,481) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(887,481) = ( 887 × 481 ) / 1
LCM(887,481) = 426647 / 1
LCM(887,481) = 426647
