Lets's calculate LCM of 157,9888
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1552416
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1552416
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3197/157,4073/9888 is 1/1552416
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 157,9888 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(157,9888) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(157,9888) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(157,9888) = ( 157 × 9888 ) / 1
LCM(157,9888) = 1552416 / 1
LCM(157,9888) = 1552416
