So the greatest common factor 1989,8973 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 982,4427
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4347314
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/4347314
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1989/982,8973/4427 is 9/4347314
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 982,4427 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(982,4427) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(982,4427) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(982,4427) = ( 982 × 4427 ) / 1
LCM(982,4427) = 4347314 / 1
LCM(982,4427) = 4347314
