Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8812,4696 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8812,4696 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 139,185
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 25715
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/25715
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8812/139,4696/185 is 4/25715
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 139,185 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(139,185) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(139,185) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(139,185) = ( 139 × 185 ) / 1
LCM(139,185) = 25715 / 1
LCM(139,185) = 25715
