So the greatest common factor 937,438 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 638,179
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 114202
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/114202
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 937/638,438/179 is 1/114202
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 638,179 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(638,179) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(638,179) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(638,179) = ( 638 × 179 ) / 1
LCM(638,179) = 114202 / 1
LCM(638,179) = 114202
