Lets's calculate LCM of 793,986
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 781898
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/781898
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 472/793,703/986 is 1/781898
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 793,986 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(793,986) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(793,986) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(793,986) = ( 793 × 986 ) / 1
LCM(793,986) = 781898 / 1
LCM(793,986) = 781898
