Lets's calculate LCM of 985,4144
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4081840
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4081840
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5298/985,2173/4144 is 1/4081840
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 985,4144 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(985,4144) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(985,4144) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(985,4144) = ( 985 × 4144 ) / 1
LCM(985,4144) = 4081840 / 1
LCM(985,4144) = 4081840
