1,2,3,5,6,9,10,15,17,18,30,34,45,51,85,90,102,153,170,255,306,510,765,1530
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3466,1530 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3466,1530 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 41,872
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 35752
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/35752
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3466/41,1530/872 is 2/35752
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 41,872 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,872) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(41,872) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(41,872) = ( 41 × 872 ) / 1
LCM(41,872) = 35752 / 1
LCM(41,872) = 35752
