Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5045,5166 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5045,5166 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 174,1987
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 345738
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/345738
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5045/174,5166/1987 is 1/345738
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 174,1987 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(174,1987) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(174,1987) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(174,1987) = ( 174 × 1987 ) / 1
LCM(174,1987) = 345738 / 1
LCM(174,1987) = 345738
