:1,5851
Now, list down the factors of 2003
:1,2003
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5851,2003 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5851,2003 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 214,494
2 | 214, 494 |
107, 247 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 107 x 247 = 52858
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/52858
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5851/214,2003/494 is 1/52858
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 214,494 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(214,494) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(214,494) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(214,494) = ( 214 × 494 ) / 2
LCM(214,494) = 105716 / 2
LCM(214,494) = 52858
