Lets's calculate LCM of 392,989
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 387688
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/387688
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7240/392,9122/989 is 2/387688
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 392,989 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(392,989) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(392,989) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(392,989) = ( 392 × 989 ) / 1
LCM(392,989) = 387688 / 1
LCM(392,989) = 387688
