Lets's calculate LCM of 898,961
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 862978
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/862978
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3426/898,4060/961 is 2/862978
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 898,961 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(898,961) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(898,961) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(898,961) = ( 898 × 961 ) / 1
LCM(898,961) = 862978 / 1
LCM(898,961) = 862978
