:1,2,3,6,7,14,21,42,67,134,201,402,469,938,1407,2814
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3974,2814 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3974,2814 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 850,143
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 121550
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/121550
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3974/850,2814/143 is 2/121550
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 850,143 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(850,143) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(850,143) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(850,143) = ( 850 × 143 ) / 1
LCM(850,143) = 121550 / 1
LCM(850,143) = 121550
