Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/26986
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 391/262,8236/206 is 1/26986
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 262,206 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(262,206) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(262,206) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(262,206) = ( 262 × 206 ) / 2
LCM(262,206) = 53972 / 2
LCM(262,206) = 26986
