Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 186,263 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 186,263 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 386,986
2 | 386, 986 |
193, 493 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 193 x 493 = 190298
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/190298
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 186/386,263/986 is 1/190298
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 386,986 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(386,986) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(386,986) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(386,986) = ( 386 × 986 ) / 2
LCM(386,986) = 380596 / 2
LCM(386,986) = 190298
