Lets's calculate LCM of 978,8297
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8114466
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/8114466
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 88/978,9478/8297 is 2/8114466
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 978,8297 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(978,8297) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(978,8297) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(978,8297) = ( 978 × 8297 ) / 1
LCM(978,8297) = 8114466 / 1
LCM(978,8297) = 8114466
