Lets's calculate LCM of 989,342
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 338238
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/338238
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1832/989,5834/342 is 2/338238
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 989,342 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(989,342) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(989,342) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(989,342) = ( 989 × 342 ) / 1
LCM(989,342) = 338238 / 1
LCM(989,342) = 338238
