Lets's calculate LCM of 366,1795
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 656970
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/656970
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8998/366,5946/1795 is 2/656970
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 366,1795 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(366,1795) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(366,1795) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(366,1795) = ( 366 × 1795 ) / 1
LCM(366,1795) = 656970 / 1
LCM(366,1795) = 656970
