Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4980,2498 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4980,2498 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 373,1138
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 424474
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/424474
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4980/373,2498/1138 is 2/424474
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 373,1138 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(373,1138) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(373,1138) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(373,1138) = ( 373 × 1138 ) / 1
LCM(373,1138) = 424474 / 1
LCM(373,1138) = 424474
