Lets's calculate LCM of 97,8982
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 871254
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/871254
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 878/97,838/8982 is 2/871254
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 97,8982 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(97,8982) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(97,8982) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(97,8982) = ( 97 × 8982 ) / 1
LCM(97,8982) = 871254 / 1
LCM(97,8982) = 871254
