So the greatest common factor 945,470 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 978,985
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 963330
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/963330
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 945/978,470/985 is 5/963330
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 978,985 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(978,985) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(978,985) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(978,985) = ( 978 × 985 ) / 1
LCM(978,985) = 963330 / 1
LCM(978,985) = 963330
