We found the factors 994,184 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 994,184 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 5546,4602
2 | 5546, 4602 |
59 | 2773, 2301 |
47, 39 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 59 x 47 x 39 = 216294
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/216294
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 994/5546,184/4602 is 2/216294
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 5546,4602 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(5546,4602) = 118
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(5546,4602) x common factors =118 x 1 = 118
LCM(5546,4602) = ( 5546 × 4602 ) / 118
LCM(5546,4602) = 25522692 / 118
LCM(5546,4602) = 216294
