We found the factors 1538,8863 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1538,8863 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 686,118
2 | 686, 118 |
343, 59 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 343 x 59 = 40474
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/40474
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1538/686,8863/118 is 1/40474
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 686,118 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(686,118) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(686,118) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(686,118) = ( 686 × 118 ) / 2
LCM(686,118) = 80948 / 2
LCM(686,118) = 40474
