Lets's calculate LCM of 997,4286
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4273142
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4273142
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5495/997,8982/4286 is 1/4273142
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 997,4286 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(997,4286) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(997,4286) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(997,4286) = ( 997 × 4286 ) / 1
LCM(997,4286) = 4273142 / 1
LCM(997,4286) = 4273142
