1,2,4,8,997,1994,3988,7976
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3284,7976 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3284,7976 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 29,704
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 20416
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/20416
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3284/29,7976/704 is 4/20416
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 29,704 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(29,704) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(29,704) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(29,704) = ( 29 × 704 ) / 1
LCM(29,704) = 20416 / 1
LCM(29,704) = 20416
