So the greatest common factor 3693,4296 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 979,698
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 683342
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/683342
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3693/979,4296/698 is 3/683342
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 979,698 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(979,698) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(979,698) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(979,698) = ( 979 × 698 ) / 1
LCM(979,698) = 683342 / 1
LCM(979,698) = 683342
