:1,2,4,8,16,251,502,1004,2008,4016
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1016,4016 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1016,4016 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 285,4129
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1176765
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/1176765
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1016/285,4016/4129 is 8/1176765
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 285,4129 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(285,4129) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(285,4129) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(285,4129) = ( 285 × 4129 ) / 1
LCM(285,4129) = 1176765 / 1
LCM(285,4129) = 1176765
