Lets's calculate LCM of 194,803
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 155782
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/155782
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 986/194,7376/803 is 2/155782
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 194,803 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(194,803) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(194,803) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(194,803) = ( 194 × 803 ) / 1
LCM(194,803) = 155782 / 1
LCM(194,803) = 155782
