So the greatest common factor 738,104 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 186,862
2 | 186, 862 |
93, 431 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 93 x 431 = 80166
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/80166
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 738/186,104/862 is 2/80166
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 186,862 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(186,862) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(186,862) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(186,862) = ( 186 × 862 ) / 2
LCM(186,862) = 160332 / 2
LCM(186,862) = 80166
