Lets's calculate LCM of 991,1446
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1432986
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/1432986
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3232/991,7116/1446 is 4/1432986
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 991,1446 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(991,1446) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(991,1446) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(991,1446) = ( 991 × 1446 ) / 1
LCM(991,1446) = 1432986 / 1
LCM(991,1446) = 1432986
