So the greatest common factor 7261,6983 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 358,1174
2 | 358, 1174 |
179, 587 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 179 x 587 = 210146
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/210146
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7261/358,6983/1174 is 1/210146
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 358,1174 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(358,1174) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(358,1174) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(358,1174) = ( 358 × 1174 ) / 2
LCM(358,1174) = 420292 / 2
LCM(358,1174) = 210146
