1,2,19,38,101,202,1919,3838
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1520,3838 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1520,3838 is 38.
Lets's calculate LCM of 467,190
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 88730
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 38/88730
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1520/467,3838/190 is 38/88730
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 467,190 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(467,190) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(467,190) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(467,190) = ( 467 × 190 ) / 1
LCM(467,190) = 88730 / 1
LCM(467,190) = 88730
