Lets's calculate LCM of 985,669
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 658965
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/658965
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9440/985,9338/669 is 2/658965
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 985,669 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(985,669) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(985,669) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(985,669) = ( 985 × 669 ) / 1
LCM(985,669) = 658965 / 1
LCM(985,669) = 658965
