Lets's calculate LCM of 989,254
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 251206
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/251206
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3176/989,1167/254 is 1/251206
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 989,254 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(989,254) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(989,254) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(989,254) = ( 989 × 254 ) / 1
LCM(989,254) = 251206 / 1
LCM(989,254) = 251206
