Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/16434
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 638/198,677/747 is 1/16434
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 198,747 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(198,747) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(198,747) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(198,747) = ( 198 × 747 ) / 9
LCM(198,747) = 147906 / 9
LCM(198,747) = 16434
