Lets's calculate LCM of 986,3061
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3018146
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3018146
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2342/986,2697/3061 is 1/3018146
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 986,3061 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(986,3061) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(986,3061) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(986,3061) = ( 986 × 3061 ) / 1
LCM(986,3061) = 3018146 / 1
LCM(986,3061) = 3018146
