Lets's calculate LCM of 923,978
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 902694
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/902694
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3892/923,3886/978 is 2/902694
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 923,978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(923,978) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(923,978) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(923,978) = ( 923 × 978 ) / 1
LCM(923,978) = 902694 / 1
LCM(923,978) = 902694
