As per the formula LCM of Fractions let’s split into two parts and find the LCM of Numerators and GCF of Denominators

In the given fractions LCM of Numerators means LCM of 279,8744

Least Common Multiple of Numerators i.e. LCM of 279,8744 is 2439576.

GCF of Denominators means GCF of 987,159 as per the given fractions.

GCF of 987,159 is 3 as it is the largest common factor for these numbers.

Lets's calculate LCM of 279,8744

LCM of Fractions 279/987,8744/159 is 813192

Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2439576

Least Common Multiple of 279,8744 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 279,8744 with GCF Formula

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 279,8744 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(279,8744) = 1

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1

GCF(279,8744) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1

LCM(279,8744) = ( 279 × 8744 ) / 1

LCM(279,8744) = 2439576 / 1

LCM(279,8744) = 2439576


Lets's calculate GCF of 987,159

3 987, 159
329, 53

∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

Thus LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators/GCF of Denominators = 2439576/3

Therefore the LCM of Fractions 279/987,8744/159 is 813192
