Lets's calculate LCM of 988,9851
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 9732788
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/9732788
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6718/988,4302/9851 is 2/9732788
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 988,9851 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(988,9851) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(988,9851) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(988,9851) = ( 988 × 9851 ) / 1
LCM(988,9851) = 9732788 / 1
LCM(988,9851) = 9732788
