1,2,4,17,34,43,68,86,172,731,1462,2924
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3698,2924 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3698,2924 is 86.
Lets's calculate LCM of 55,301
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 16555
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 86/16555
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3698/55,2924/301 is 86/16555
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 55,301 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(55,301) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(55,301) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(55,301) = ( 55 × 301 ) / 1
LCM(55,301) = 16555 / 1
LCM(55,301) = 16555
