Lets's calculate LCM of 984,505
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 496920
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/496920
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 708/984,862/505 is 2/496920
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 984,505 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(984,505) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(984,505) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(984,505) = ( 984 × 505 ) / 1
LCM(984,505) = 496920 / 1
LCM(984,505) = 496920
