So the greatest common factor 154,944 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 749,262
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 196238
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/196238
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 154/749,944/262 is 2/196238
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 749,262 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(749,262) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(749,262) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(749,262) = ( 749 × 262 ) / 1
LCM(749,262) = 196238 / 1
LCM(749,262) = 196238
