Lets's calculate LCM of 657,986
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 647802
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/647802
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2338/657,4574/986 is 2/647802
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 657,986 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(657,986) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(657,986) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(657,986) = ( 657 × 986 ) / 1
LCM(657,986) = 647802 / 1
LCM(657,986) = 647802
