We found the factors 2372,1994 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2372,1994 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 250,7643
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1910750
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1910750
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2372/250,1994/7643 is 2/1910750
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 250,7643 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(250,7643) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(250,7643) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(250,7643) = ( 250 × 7643 ) / 1
LCM(250,7643) = 1910750 / 1
LCM(250,7643) = 1910750
