We found the factors 194,3138 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 194,3138 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 974,450
2 | 974, 450 |
487, 225 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 487 x 225 = 219150
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/219150
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 194/974,3138/450 is 2/219150
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 974,450 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(974,450) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(974,450) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(974,450) = ( 974 × 450 ) / 2
LCM(974,450) = 438300 / 2
LCM(974,450) = 219150
