1,2,4,8,29,58,116,232
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 840,232 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 840,232 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 43,9396
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 404028
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/404028
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 840/43,232/9396 is 8/404028
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 43,9396 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(43,9396) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(43,9396) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(43,9396) = ( 43 × 9396 ) / 1
LCM(43,9396) = 404028 / 1
LCM(43,9396) = 404028
