Lets's calculate LCM of 243,698
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 169614
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/169614
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9854/243,8978/698 is 2/169614
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 243,698 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(243,698) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(243,698) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(243,698) = ( 243 × 698 ) / 1
LCM(243,698) = 169614 / 1
LCM(243,698) = 169614
