Lets's calculate LCM of 977,297
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 290169
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/290169
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4398/977,9242/297 is 2/290169
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 977,297 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(977,297) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(977,297) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(977,297) = ( 977 × 297 ) / 1
LCM(977,297) = 290169 / 1
LCM(977,297) = 290169
