:1,3,79,237
Now, list down the factors of 202
:1,2,101,202
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 237,202 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 237,202 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 89,4514
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 401746
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/401746
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 237/89,202/4514 is 1/401746
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 89,4514 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(89,4514) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(89,4514) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(89,4514) = ( 89 × 4514 ) / 1
LCM(89,4514) = 401746 / 1
LCM(89,4514) = 401746
