Lets's calculate LCM of 209,5948
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1243132
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/1243132
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1048/209,3212/5948 is 4/1243132
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 209,5948 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(209,5948) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(209,5948) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(209,5948) = ( 209 × 5948 ) / 1
LCM(209,5948) = 1243132 / 1
LCM(209,5948) = 1243132
