Lets's calculate LCM of 194,6221
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1206874
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1206874
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6550/194,1516/6221 is 2/1206874
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 194,6221 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(194,6221) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(194,6221) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(194,6221) = ( 194 × 6221 ) / 1
LCM(194,6221) = 1206874 / 1
LCM(194,6221) = 1206874
