Lets's calculate LCM of 167,394
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 65798
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/65798
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5950/167,2468/394 is 2/65798
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 167,394 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(167,394) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(167,394) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(167,394) = ( 167 × 394 ) / 1
LCM(167,394) = 65798 / 1
LCM(167,394) = 65798
