Lets's calculate LCM of 957,998
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 955086
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/955086
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3545/957,3200/998 is 5/955086
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 957,998 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(957,998) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(957,998) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(957,998) = ( 957 × 998 ) / 1
LCM(957,998) = 955086 / 1
LCM(957,998) = 955086
