Lets's calculate LCM of 898,471
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 422958
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/422958
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4005/898,3318/471 is 3/422958
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 898,471 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(898,471) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(898,471) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(898,471) = ( 898 × 471 ) / 1
LCM(898,471) = 422958 / 1
LCM(898,471) = 422958
