Lets's calculate LCM of 938,489
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 458682
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/458682
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 985/938,404/489 is 1/458682
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 938,489 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(938,489) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(938,489) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(938,489) = ( 938 × 489 ) / 1
LCM(938,489) = 458682 / 1
LCM(938,489) = 458682
