Lets's calculate LCM of 998,739
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 737522
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/737522
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 443/998,8996/739 is 1/737522
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 998,739 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(998,739) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(998,739) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(998,739) = ( 998 × 739 ) / 1
LCM(998,739) = 737522 / 1
LCM(998,739) = 737522
