So the greatest common factor 1524,1662 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 981,898
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 880938
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/880938
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1524/981,1662/898 is 6/880938
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 981,898 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(981,898) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(981,898) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(981,898) = ( 981 × 898 ) / 1
LCM(981,898) = 880938 / 1
LCM(981,898) = 880938
