1,2,17,34,109,218,1853,3706
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8332,3706 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8332,3706 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 80,231
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 18480
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/18480
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8332/80,3706/231 is 2/18480
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 80,231 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(80,231) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(80,231) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(80,231) = ( 80 × 231 ) / 1
LCM(80,231) = 18480 / 1
LCM(80,231) = 18480
