Lets's calculate LCM of 997,1862
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1856414
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 22/1856414
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1166/997,8646/1862 is 22/1856414
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 997,1862 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(997,1862) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(997,1862) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(997,1862) = ( 997 × 1862 ) / 1
LCM(997,1862) = 1856414 / 1
LCM(997,1862) = 1856414
