1,2,4,8,16,89,178,356,712,1424
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7436,1424 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7436,1424 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 38,241
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 9158
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/9158
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7436/38,1424/241 is 4/9158
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 38,241 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(38,241) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(38,241) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(38,241) = ( 38 × 241 ) / 1
LCM(38,241) = 9158 / 1
LCM(38,241) = 9158
