Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4055,1987 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4055,1987 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 137,1946
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 266602
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/266602
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4055/137,1987/1946 is 1/266602
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 137,1946 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(137,1946) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(137,1946) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(137,1946) = ( 137 × 1946 ) / 1
LCM(137,1946) = 266602 / 1
LCM(137,1946) = 266602
