Lets's calculate LCM of 435,2242
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 975270
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/975270
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8798/435,8978/2242 is 2/975270
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 435,2242 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(435,2242) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(435,2242) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(435,2242) = ( 435 × 2242 ) / 1
LCM(435,2242) = 975270 / 1
LCM(435,2242) = 975270
