Lets's calculate LCM of 859,998
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 857282
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/857282
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8476/859,6336/998 is 4/857282
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 859,998 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(859,998) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(859,998) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(859,998) = ( 859 × 998 ) / 1
LCM(859,998) = 857282 / 1
LCM(859,998) = 857282
