We found the factors 517,2442 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 517,2442 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 166,1181
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 196046
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/196046
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 517/166,2442/1181 is 11/196046
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 166,1181 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(166,1181) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(166,1181) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(166,1181) = ( 166 × 1181 ) / 1
LCM(166,1181) = 196046 / 1
LCM(166,1181) = 196046
