Lets's calculate LCM of 979,732
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 716628
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/716628
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 914/979,998/732 is 2/716628
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 979,732 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(979,732) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(979,732) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(979,732) = ( 979 × 732 ) / 1
LCM(979,732) = 716628 / 1
LCM(979,732) = 716628
