Lets's calculate LCM of 997,847
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 844459
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/844459
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5398/997,2286/847 is 2/844459
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 997,847 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(997,847) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(997,847) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(997,847) = ( 997 × 847 ) / 1
LCM(997,847) = 844459 / 1
LCM(997,847) = 844459
