We found the factors 189,294 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 189,294 is 21.
Lets's calculate LCM of 466,149
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 69434
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 21/69434
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 189/466,294/149 is 21/69434
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 466,149 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(466,149) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(466,149) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(466,149) = ( 466 × 149 ) / 1
LCM(466,149) = 69434 / 1
LCM(466,149) = 69434
