1,2,4,7,8,14,28,41,56,82,164,287,328,574,1148,2296
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 9586,2296 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 9586,2296 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,179
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7518
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/7518
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9586/42,2296/179 is 2/7518
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 42,179 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,179) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,179) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(42,179) = ( 42 × 179 ) / 1
LCM(42,179) = 7518 / 1
LCM(42,179) = 7518
