Lets's calculate LCM of 193,490
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 94570
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/94570
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 216/193,159/490 is 3/94570
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 193,490 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(193,490) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(193,490) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(193,490) = ( 193 × 490 ) / 1
LCM(193,490) = 94570 / 1
LCM(193,490) = 94570
