So the greatest common factor 4611,8236 is 29.
Lets's calculate LCM of 766,197
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 150902
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 29/150902
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4611/766,8236/197 is 29/150902
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 766,197 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(766,197) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(766,197) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(766,197) = ( 766 × 197 ) / 1
LCM(766,197) = 150902 / 1
LCM(766,197) = 150902
