Lets's calculate LCM of 968,409
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 395912
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 19/395912
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 285/968,8569/409 is 19/395912
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 968,409 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(968,409) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(968,409) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(968,409) = ( 968 × 409 ) / 1
LCM(968,409) = 395912 / 1
LCM(968,409) = 395912
