Lets's calculate LCM of 698,897
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 626106
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/626106
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4272/698,7048/897 is 8/626106
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 698,897 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(698,897) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(698,897) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(698,897) = ( 698 × 897 ) / 1
LCM(698,897) = 626106 / 1
LCM(698,897) = 626106
