So the greatest common factor 4318,4796 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 988,439
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 433732
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/433732
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4318/988,4796/439 is 2/433732
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 988,439 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(988,439) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(988,439) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(988,439) = ( 988 × 439 ) / 1
LCM(988,439) = 433732 / 1
LCM(988,439) = 433732
