We found the factors 298,382 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 298,382 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 86,3722
2 | 86, 3722 |
43, 1861 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 43 x 1861 = 160046
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/160046
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 298/86,382/3722 is 2/160046
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 86,3722 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(86,3722) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(86,3722) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(86,3722) = ( 86 × 3722 ) / 2
LCM(86,3722) = 320092 / 2
LCM(86,3722) = 160046
