So the greatest common factor 1468,5538 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 197,4844
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 954268
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/954268
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1468/197,5538/4844 is 2/954268
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 197,4844 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(197,4844) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(197,4844) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(197,4844) = ( 197 × 4844 ) / 1
LCM(197,4844) = 954268 / 1
LCM(197,4844) = 954268
