Lets's calculate LCM of 997,539
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 537383
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/537383
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4406/997,7862/539 is 2/537383
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 997,539 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(997,539) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(997,539) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(997,539) = ( 997 × 539 ) / 1
LCM(997,539) = 537383 / 1
LCM(997,539) = 537383
