Lets's calculate LCM of 846,2897
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2450862
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/2450862
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 979/846,7502/2897 is 11/2450862
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 846,2897 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(846,2897) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(846,2897) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(846,2897) = ( 846 × 2897 ) / 1
LCM(846,2897) = 2450862 / 1
LCM(846,2897) = 2450862
