Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 48,3698 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 48,3698 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 157,6898
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1082986
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1082986
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 48/157,3698/6898 is 2/1082986
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 157,6898 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(157,6898) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(157,6898) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(157,6898) = ( 157 × 6898 ) / 1
LCM(157,6898) = 1082986 / 1
LCM(157,6898) = 1082986
