Lets's calculate LCM of 998,193
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 192614
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/192614
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6642/998,1140/193 is 6/192614
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 998,193 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(998,193) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(998,193) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(998,193) = ( 998 × 193 ) / 1
LCM(998,193) = 192614 / 1
LCM(998,193) = 192614
