Lets's calculate LCM of 959,1486
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1425074
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1425074
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7364/959,8998/1486 is 2/1425074
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 959,1486 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(959,1486) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(959,1486) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(959,1486) = ( 959 × 1486 ) / 1
LCM(959,1486) = 1425074 / 1
LCM(959,1486) = 1425074
