Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 338,5958 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 338,5958 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 41,768
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 31488
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/31488
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 338/41,5958/768 is 2/31488
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 41,768 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,768) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(41,768) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(41,768) = ( 41 × 768 ) / 1
LCM(41,768) = 31488 / 1
LCM(41,768) = 31488
