We found the factors 2374,8118 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2374,8118 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 274,5962
2 | 274, 5962 |
137, 2981 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 137 x 2981 = 816794
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/816794
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2374/274,8118/5962 is 2/816794
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 274,5962 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(274,5962) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(274,5962) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(274,5962) = ( 274 × 5962 ) / 2
LCM(274,5962) = 1633588 / 2
LCM(274,5962) = 816794
