Lets's calculate LCM of 6491,3266
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 21199606
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/21199606
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 208/6491,298/3266 is 2/21199606
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 6491,3266 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(6491,3266) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(6491,3266) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(6491,3266) = ( 6491 × 3266 ) / 1
LCM(6491,3266) = 21199606 / 1
LCM(6491,3266) = 21199606
