Lets's calculate LCM of 189,433
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 81837
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/81837
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7662/189,1179/433 is 3/81837
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 189,433 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(189,433) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(189,433) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(189,433) = ( 189 × 433 ) / 1
LCM(189,433) = 81837 / 1
LCM(189,433) = 81837
