1,2,4,8,16,467,934,1868,3736,7472
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4696,7472 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4696,7472 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 97,983
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 95351
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/95351
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4696/97,7472/983 is 8/95351
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 97,983 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(97,983) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(97,983) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(97,983) = ( 97 × 983 ) / 1
LCM(97,983) = 95351 / 1
LCM(97,983) = 95351
