Now, list down the factors of 1181
:1,1181
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2986,1181 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2986,1181 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 149,785
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 116965
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/116965
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2986/149,1181/785 is 1/116965
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 149,785 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(149,785) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(149,785) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(149,785) = ( 149 × 785 ) / 1
LCM(149,785) = 116965 / 1
LCM(149,785) = 116965
