So the greatest common factor 2132,1586 is 26.
Lets's calculate LCM of 989,176
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 174064
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 26/174064
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2132/989,1586/176 is 26/174064
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 989,176 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(989,176) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(989,176) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(989,176) = ( 989 × 176 ) / 1
LCM(989,176) = 174064 / 1
LCM(989,176) = 174064
