Lets's calculate LCM of 89,298
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 26522
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/26522
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 962/89,588/298 is 2/26522
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 89,298 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(89,298) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(89,298) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(89,298) = ( 89 × 298 ) / 1
LCM(89,298) = 26522 / 1
LCM(89,298) = 26522
