Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1974,9502 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1974,9502 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 118,849
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 100182
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/100182
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1974/118,9502/849 is 2/100182
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 118,849 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(118,849) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(118,849) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(118,849) = ( 118 × 849 ) / 1
LCM(118,849) = 100182 / 1
LCM(118,849) = 100182
