Lets's calculate LCM of 89,5856
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 521184
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/521184
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 998/89,918/5856 is 2/521184
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 89,5856 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(89,5856) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(89,5856) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(89,5856) = ( 89 × 5856 ) / 1
LCM(89,5856) = 521184 / 1
LCM(89,5856) = 521184
