1,2,7,14,607,1214,4249,8498
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 838,8498 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 838,8498 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 144,169
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 24336
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/24336
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 838/144,8498/169 is 2/24336
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 144,169 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(144,169) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(144,169) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(144,169) = ( 144 × 169 ) / 1
LCM(144,169) = 24336 / 1
LCM(144,169) = 24336
