Lets's calculate LCM of 859,979
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 840961
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/840961
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2774/859,7308/979 is 2/840961
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 859,979 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(859,979) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(859,979) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(859,979) = ( 859 × 979 ) / 1
LCM(859,979) = 840961 / 1
LCM(859,979) = 840961
