In the given fractions GCF of Numerators means GCF of 3660,7100
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 3660,7100 is 20 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 197,172 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 197,172 is 33884 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 3660,7100
2 | 3660, 7100 |
2 | 1830, 3550 |
5 | 915, 1775 |
183, 355 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 = 20

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3660,7100 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3660,7100 is 20.
Lets's calculate LCM of 197,172
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 33884
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 20/33884
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3660/197,7100/172 is 20/33884
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 197,172 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(197,172) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(197,172) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(197,172) = ( 197 × 172 ) / 1
LCM(197,172) = 33884 / 1
LCM(197,172) = 33884
