Lets's calculate LCM of 143,984
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 140712
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/140712
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7912/143,6586/984 is 2/140712
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 143,984 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(143,984) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(143,984) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(143,984) = ( 143 × 984 ) / 1
LCM(143,984) = 140712 / 1
LCM(143,984) = 140712
