Lets's calculate LCM of 986,858
2 | 986, 858 |
493, 429 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 493 x 429 = 422994
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/422994
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 897/986,332/858 is 1/422994
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 986,858 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(986,858) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(986,858) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(986,858) = ( 986 × 858 ) / 2
LCM(986,858) = 845988 / 2
LCM(986,858) = 422994
