1,2,4,8,491,982,1964,3928
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 640,3928 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 640,3928 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 35,358
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 12530
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/12530
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 640/35,3928/358 is 8/12530
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 35,358 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(35,358) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(35,358) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(35,358) = ( 35 × 358 ) / 1
LCM(35,358) = 12530 / 1
LCM(35,358) = 12530
