Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1545/993,8257/662 is 1/1986
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 993,662 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(993,662) = 331
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(993,662) x common factors =331 x 1 = 331
LCM(993,662) = ( 993 × 662 ) / 331
LCM(993,662) = 657366 / 331
LCM(993,662) = 1986
