1,2,3,6,967,1934,2901,5802
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8438,5802 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8438,5802 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 191,890
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 169990
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/169990
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8438/191,5802/890 is 2/169990
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 191,890 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(191,890) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(191,890) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(191,890) = ( 191 × 890 ) / 1
LCM(191,890) = 169990 / 1
LCM(191,890) = 169990
