1,2,4,8,1237,2474,4948,9896
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6960,9896 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6960,9896 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 77,358
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 27566
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/27566
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6960/77,9896/358 is 8/27566
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 77,358 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(77,358) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(77,358) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(77,358) = ( 77 × 358 ) / 1
LCM(77,358) = 27566 / 1
LCM(77,358) = 27566
