Lets's calculate LCM of 879,982
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 863178
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/863178
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7180/879,6178/982 is 2/863178
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 879,982 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(879,982) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(879,982) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(879,982) = ( 879 × 982 ) / 1
LCM(879,982) = 863178 / 1
LCM(879,982) = 863178
