Lets's calculate LCM of 116,333
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 38628
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/38628
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 996/116,644/333 is 4/38628
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 116,333 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(116,333) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(116,333) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(116,333) = ( 116 × 333 ) / 1
LCM(116,333) = 38628 / 1
LCM(116,333) = 38628
