Lets's calculate LCM of 988,545
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 538460
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/538460
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1292/988,8637/545 is 1/538460
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 988,545 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(988,545) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(988,545) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(988,545) = ( 988 × 545 ) / 1
LCM(988,545) = 538460 / 1
LCM(988,545) = 538460
