Lets's calculate LCM of 784,1299
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1018416
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/1018416
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3444/784,8996/1299 is 4/1018416
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 784,1299 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(784,1299) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(784,1299) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(784,1299) = ( 784 × 1299 ) / 1
LCM(784,1299) = 1018416 / 1
LCM(784,1299) = 1018416
