Lets's calculate LCM of 437,913
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 398981
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/398981
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 992/437,312/913 is 8/398981
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 437,913 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(437,913) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(437,913) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(437,913) = ( 437 × 913 ) / 1
LCM(437,913) = 398981 / 1
LCM(437,913) = 398981
