Lets's calculate LCM of 203,929
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 188587
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/188587
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9168/203,2978/929 is 2/188587
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 203,929 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(203,929) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(203,929) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(203,929) = ( 203 × 929 ) / 1
LCM(203,929) = 188587 / 1
LCM(203,929) = 188587
