We found the factors 4984,1040 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4984,1040 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 884,701
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 619684
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/619684
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4984/884,1040/701 is 8/619684
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 884,701 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(884,701) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(884,701) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(884,701) = ( 884 × 701 ) / 1
LCM(884,701) = 619684 / 1
LCM(884,701) = 619684
