Lets's calculate LCM of 197,494
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 97318
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/97318
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3753/197,1353/494 is 3/97318
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 197,494 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(197,494) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(197,494) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(197,494) = ( 197 × 494 ) / 1
LCM(197,494) = 97318 / 1
LCM(197,494) = 97318
