Lets's calculate LCM of 499,988
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 493012
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/493012
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 398/499,399/988 is 1/493012
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 499,988 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(499,988) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(499,988) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(499,988) = ( 499 × 988 ) / 1
LCM(499,988) = 493012 / 1
LCM(499,988) = 493012
