Lets's calculate LCM of 979,284
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 278036
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/278036
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 663/979,5373/284 is 3/278036
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 979,284 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(979,284) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(979,284) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(979,284) = ( 979 × 284 ) / 1
LCM(979,284) = 278036 / 1
LCM(979,284) = 278036
