2 | 988, 3194 |
494, 1597 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 494 x 1597 = 1577836
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1577836
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2607/988,1161/3194 is 3/1577836
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 988,3194 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(988,3194) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(988,3194) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(988,3194) = ( 988 × 3194 ) / 2
LCM(988,3194) = 3155672 / 2
LCM(988,3194) = 1577836
