1,2,3,4,6,7,8,12,14,16,21,24,28,42,48,56,84,112,168,336
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 958,336 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 958,336 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 51,3701
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 188751
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/188751
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 958/51,336/3701 is 2/188751
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 51,3701 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(51,3701) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(51,3701) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(51,3701) = ( 51 × 3701 ) / 1
LCM(51,3701) = 188751 / 1
LCM(51,3701) = 188751
