Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/31820
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 122/185,120/172 is 2/31820
Least Common Multiple of 185,172 with GCF Formula
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 185,172 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(185,172) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(185,172) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(185,172) = ( 185 × 172 ) / 1
LCM(185,172) = 31820 / 1
LCM(185,172) = 31820
