Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1230,2974 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1230,2974 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 254,9139
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2321306
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2321306
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1230/254,2974/9139 is 2/2321306
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 254,9139 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(254,9139) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(254,9139) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(254,9139) = ( 254 × 9139 ) / 1
LCM(254,9139) = 2321306 / 1
LCM(254,9139) = 2321306
