Lets's calculate LCM of 798,6979
7 | 798, 6979 |
114, 997 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 114 x 997 = 795606
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/795606
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8728/798,8722/6979 is 2/795606
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 798,6979 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(798,6979) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(798,6979) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(798,6979) = ( 798 × 6979 ) / 7
LCM(798,6979) = 5569242 / 7
LCM(798,6979) = 795606
