Lets's calculate LCM of 197,7043
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1387471
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1387471
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1538/197,9861/7043 is 1/1387471
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 197,7043 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(197,7043) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(197,7043) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(197,7043) = ( 197 × 7043 ) / 1
LCM(197,7043) = 1387471 / 1
LCM(197,7043) = 1387471
