Lets's calculate LCM of 98,3645
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 357210
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/357210
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 998/98,538/3645 is 2/357210
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 98,3645 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(98,3645) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(98,3645) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(98,3645) = ( 98 × 3645 ) / 1
LCM(98,3645) = 357210 / 1
LCM(98,3645) = 357210
