Lets's calculate LCM of 993,392
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 389256
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 23/389256
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3059/993,9568/392 is 23/389256
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 993,392 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(993,392) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(993,392) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(993,392) = ( 993 × 392 ) / 1
LCM(993,392) = 389256 / 1
LCM(993,392) = 389256
