:1,8581
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1837,8581 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1837,8581 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 183,998
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 182634
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/182634
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1837/183,8581/998 is 1/182634
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 183,998 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(183,998) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(183,998) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(183,998) = ( 183 × 998 ) / 1
LCM(183,998) = 182634 / 1
LCM(183,998) = 182634
