Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1198,2187 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1198,2187 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 739,116
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 85724
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/85724
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1198/739,2187/116 is 1/85724
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 739,116 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(739,116) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(739,116) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(739,116) = ( 739 × 116 ) / 1
LCM(739,116) = 85724 / 1
LCM(739,116) = 85724
