Lets's calculate LCM of 164,407
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 66748
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/66748
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3626/164,1986/407 is 2/66748
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 164,407 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(164,407) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(164,407) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(164,407) = ( 164 × 407 ) / 1
LCM(164,407) = 66748 / 1
LCM(164,407) = 66748
