Lets's calculate LCM of 183,9686
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1772538
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1772538
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4142/183,6444/9686 is 2/1772538
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 183,9686 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(183,9686) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(183,9686) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(183,9686) = ( 183 × 9686 ) / 1
LCM(183,9686) = 1772538 / 1
LCM(183,9686) = 1772538
