Lets's calculate LCM of 839,874
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 733286
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/733286
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 994/839,382/874 is 2/733286
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 839,874 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(839,874) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(839,874) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(839,874) = ( 839 × 874 ) / 1
LCM(839,874) = 733286 / 1
LCM(839,874) = 733286
