Lets's calculate LCM of 986,269
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 265234
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/265234
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8171/986,6838/269 is 1/265234
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 986,269 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(986,269) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(986,269) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(986,269) = ( 986 × 269 ) / 1
LCM(986,269) = 265234 / 1
LCM(986,269) = 265234
