Lets's calculate LCM of 986,455
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 448630
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/448630
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 824/986,540/455 is 4/448630
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 986,455 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(986,455) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(986,455) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(986,455) = ( 986 × 455 ) / 1
LCM(986,455) = 448630 / 1
LCM(986,455) = 448630
