1,2,4,8,16,31,32,62,124,248,496,992
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 432,992 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 432,992 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 433,845
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 365885
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/365885
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 432/433,992/845 is 16/365885
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 433,845 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(433,845) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(433,845) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(433,845) = ( 433 × 845 ) / 1
LCM(433,845) = 365885 / 1
LCM(433,845) = 365885
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
