Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 182,257 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 182,257 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,4660
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 172420
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/172420
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 182/37,257/4660 is 1/172420
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 37,4660 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,4660) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(37,4660) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(37,4660) = ( 37 × 4660 ) / 1
LCM(37,4660) = 172420 / 1
LCM(37,4660) = 172420
