So the greatest common factor 448,1970 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 848,203
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 172144
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/172144
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 448/848,1970/203 is 2/172144
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 848,203 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(848,203) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(848,203) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(848,203) = ( 848 × 203 ) / 1
LCM(848,203) = 172144 / 1
LCM(848,203) = 172144
