Lets's calculate LCM of 944,943
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 890192
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/890192
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 486/944,8498/943 is 2/890192
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 944,943 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(944,943) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(944,943) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(944,943) = ( 944 × 943 ) / 1
LCM(944,943) = 890192 / 1
LCM(944,943) = 890192
