So the greatest common factor 8878,5872 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 193,194
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 37442
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/37442
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8878/193,5872/194 is 2/37442
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 193,194 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(193,194) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(193,194) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(193,194) = ( 193 × 194 ) / 1
LCM(193,194) = 37442 / 1
LCM(193,194) = 37442
