Lets's calculate LCM of 898,261
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 234378
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/234378
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 428/898,663/261 is 1/234378
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 898,261 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(898,261) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(898,261) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(898,261) = ( 898 × 261 ) / 1
LCM(898,261) = 234378 / 1
LCM(898,261) = 234378
