So the greatest common factor 202,668 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 178,963
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 171414
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/171414
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 202/178,668/963 is 2/171414
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 178,963 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(178,963) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(178,963) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(178,963) = ( 178 × 963 ) / 1
LCM(178,963) = 171414 / 1
LCM(178,963) = 171414
