1,2,4,8,16,223,446,892,1784,3568
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 420,3568 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 420,3568 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 23,569
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 13087
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/13087
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 420/23,3568/569 is 4/13087
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 23,569 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(23,569) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(23,569) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(23,569) = ( 23 × 569 ) / 1
LCM(23,569) = 13087 / 1
LCM(23,569) = 13087
