Lets's calculate LCM of 773,619
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 478487
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 34/478487
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 986/773,578/619 is 34/478487
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 773,619 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(773,619) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(773,619) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(773,619) = ( 773 × 619 ) / 1
LCM(773,619) = 478487 / 1
LCM(773,619) = 478487
