We found the factors 236,1490 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 236,1490 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 952,7139
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6796328
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/6796328
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 236/952,1490/7139 is 2/6796328
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 952,7139 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(952,7139) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(952,7139) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(952,7139) = ( 952 × 7139 ) / 1
LCM(952,7139) = 6796328 / 1
LCM(952,7139) = 6796328
