Lets's calculate LCM of 486,185
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 89910
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/89910
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 150/486,7172/185 is 2/89910
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 486,185 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(486,185) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(486,185) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(486,185) = ( 486 × 185 ) / 1
LCM(486,185) = 89910 / 1
LCM(486,185) = 89910
