So the greatest common factor 3226,3268 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 993,4001
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3972993
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3972993
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3226/993,3268/4001 is 2/3972993
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 993,4001 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(993,4001) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(993,4001) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(993,4001) = ( 993 × 4001 ) / 1
LCM(993,4001) = 3972993 / 1
LCM(993,4001) = 3972993
