Lets's calculate LCM of 321,8981
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2882901
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2882901
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2498/321,9838/8981 is 2/2882901
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 321,8981 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(321,8981) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(321,8981) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(321,8981) = ( 321 × 8981 ) / 1
LCM(321,8981) = 2882901 / 1
LCM(321,8981) = 2882901
