Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 118,873 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 118,873 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 187,548
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 102476
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/102476
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 118/187,873/548 is 1/102476
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 187,548 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(187,548) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(187,548) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(187,548) = ( 187 × 548 ) / 1
LCM(187,548) = 102476 / 1
LCM(187,548) = 102476
