Lets's calculate LCM of 123,998
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 122754
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 53/122754
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 371/123,6572/998 is 53/122754
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 123,998 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(123,998) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(123,998) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(123,998) = ( 123 × 998 ) / 1
LCM(123,998) = 122754 / 1
LCM(123,998) = 122754
