1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24,89,178,267,356,534,712,1068,2136
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 303,2136 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 303,2136 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 77,502
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 38654
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/38654
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 303/77,2136/502 is 3/38654
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 77,502 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(77,502) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(77,502) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(77,502) = ( 77 × 502 ) / 1
LCM(77,502) = 38654 / 1
LCM(77,502) = 38654
