So the greatest common factor 5951,1962 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 494,3173
19 | 494, 3173 |
26, 167 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 19 x 26 x 167 = 82498
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/82498
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5951/494,1962/3173 is 1/82498
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 494,3173 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(494,3173) = 19
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(494,3173) x common factors =19 x 1 = 19
LCM(494,3173) = ( 494 × 3173 ) / 19
LCM(494,3173) = 1567462 / 19
LCM(494,3173) = 82498
