1,2,4,8,16,89,178,356,712,1424
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2432,1424 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2432,1424 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 231,4234
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 978054
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/978054
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2432/231,1424/4234 is 16/978054
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 231,4234 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(231,4234) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(231,4234) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(231,4234) = ( 231 × 4234 ) / 1
LCM(231,4234) = 978054 / 1
LCM(231,4234) = 978054
