:1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,13,18,24,26,36,39,52,72,78,104,117,156,234,312,468,936
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 117,936 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 117,936 is 117.
Lets's calculate LCM of 57,724
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 41268
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 117/41268
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 117/57,936/724 is 117/41268
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 57,724 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(57,724) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(57,724) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(57,724) = ( 57 × 724 ) / 1
LCM(57,724) = 41268 / 1
LCM(57,724) = 41268
