Lets's calculate LCM of 943,898
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 846814
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/846814
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 540/943,832/898 is 4/846814
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 943,898 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(943,898) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(943,898) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(943,898) = ( 943 × 898 ) / 1
LCM(943,898) = 846814 / 1
LCM(943,898) = 846814
