Lets's calculate LCM of 829,970
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 804130
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/804130
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 159/829,3466/970 is 1/804130
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 829,970 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(829,970) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(829,970) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(829,970) = ( 829 × 970 ) / 1
LCM(829,970) = 804130 / 1
LCM(829,970) = 804130
