So the greatest common factor 8214,1558 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 201,2986
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 600186
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/600186
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8214/201,1558/2986 is 2/600186
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 201,2986 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(201,2986) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(201,2986) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(201,2986) = ( 201 × 2986 ) / 1
LCM(201,2986) = 600186 / 1
LCM(201,2986) = 600186
