Lets's calculate LCM of 188,759
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 142692
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/142692
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 688/188,590/759 is 2/142692
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 188,759 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(188,759) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(188,759) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(188,759) = ( 188 × 759 ) / 1
LCM(188,759) = 142692 / 1
LCM(188,759) = 142692
