So the greatest common factor 133,994 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 185,990
5 | 185, 990 |
37, 198 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 37 x 198 = 36630
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/36630
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 133/185,994/990 is 7/36630
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 185,990 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(185,990) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(185,990) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(185,990) = ( 185 × 990 ) / 5
LCM(185,990) = 183150 / 5
LCM(185,990) = 36630
