Lets's calculate LCM of 482,981
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 472842
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/472842
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8682/482,3246/981 is 6/472842
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 482,981 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(482,981) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(482,981) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(482,981) = ( 482 × 981 ) / 1
LCM(482,981) = 472842 / 1
LCM(482,981) = 472842
