Lets's calculate LCM of 3987,1577
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6287499
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/6287499
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 414/3987,896/1577 is 2/6287499
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 3987,1577 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(3987,1577) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(3987,1577) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(3987,1577) = ( 3987 × 1577 ) / 1
LCM(3987,1577) = 6287499 / 1
LCM(3987,1577) = 6287499
