We found the factors 2524,3042 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2524,3042 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 177,202
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 35754
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/35754
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2524/177,3042/202 is 2/35754
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 177,202 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(177,202) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(177,202) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(177,202) = ( 177 × 202 ) / 1
LCM(177,202) = 35754 / 1
LCM(177,202) = 35754
