Lets's calculate LCM of 903,6598
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5957994
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/5957994
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1137/903,2898/6598 is 3/5957994
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 903,6598 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(903,6598) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(903,6598) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(903,6598) = ( 903 × 6598 ) / 1
LCM(903,6598) = 5957994 / 1
LCM(903,6598) = 5957994
