Lets's calculate LCM of 863,7987
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6892781
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/6892781
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3018/863,6442/7987 is 2/6892781
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 863,7987 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(863,7987) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(863,7987) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(863,7987) = ( 863 × 7987 ) / 1
LCM(863,7987) = 6892781 / 1
LCM(863,7987) = 6892781
