So the greatest common factor 168,686 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 98,4836
2 | 98, 4836 |
49, 2418 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 49 x 2418 = 236964
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/236964
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 168/98,686/4836 is 14/236964
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 98,4836 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(98,4836) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(98,4836) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(98,4836) = ( 98 × 4836 ) / 2
LCM(98,4836) = 473928 / 2
LCM(98,4836) = 236964
