Lets's calculate LCM of 798,491
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 391818
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/391818
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1762/798,9458/491 is 2/391818
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 798,491 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(798,491) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(798,491) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(798,491) = ( 798 × 491 ) / 1
LCM(798,491) = 391818 / 1
LCM(798,491) = 391818
