1,2,1279,2558
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 9985,2558 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 9985,2558 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 104,3698
2 | 104, 3698 |
52, 1849 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 52 x 1849 = 192296
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/192296
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9985/104,2558/3698 is 1/192296
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 104,3698 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(104,3698) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(104,3698) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(104,3698) = ( 104 × 3698 ) / 2
LCM(104,3698) = 384592 / 2
LCM(104,3698) = 192296
