Lets's calculate LCM of 287,3037
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 871619
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/871619
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 970/287,4592/3037 is 2/871619
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 287,3037 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(287,3037) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(287,3037) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(287,3037) = ( 287 × 3037 ) / 1
LCM(287,3037) = 871619 / 1
LCM(287,3037) = 871619
