Lets's calculate LCM of 981,706
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 692586
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/692586
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 317/981,988/706 is 1/692586
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 981,706 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(981,706) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(981,706) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(981,706) = ( 981 × 706 ) / 1
LCM(981,706) = 692586 / 1
LCM(981,706) = 692586
