Lets's calculate LCM of 188,119
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 22372
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/22372
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 996/188,958/119 is 2/22372
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 188,119 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(188,119) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(188,119) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(188,119) = ( 188 × 119 ) / 1
LCM(188,119) = 22372 / 1
LCM(188,119) = 22372
