Lets's calculate LCM of 897,7447
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6679959
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/6679959
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 26/897,7948/7447 is 2/6679959
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 897,7447 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(897,7447) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(897,7447) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(897,7447) = ( 897 × 7447 ) / 1
LCM(897,7447) = 6679959 / 1
LCM(897,7447) = 6679959
