We found the factors 148,982 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 148,982 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 801,849
3 | 801, 849 |
267, 283 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 267 x 283 = 226683
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/226683
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 148/801,982/849 is 2/226683
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 801,849 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(801,849) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(801,849) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(801,849) = ( 801 × 849 ) / 3
LCM(801,849) = 680049 / 3
LCM(801,849) = 226683
