:1,2,3,5,6,10,15,30,97,194,291,485,582,970,1455,2910
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1288,2910 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1288,2910 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 235,502
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 117970
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/117970
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1288/235,2910/502 is 2/117970
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 235,502 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(235,502) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(235,502) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(235,502) = ( 235 × 502 ) / 1
LCM(235,502) = 117970 / 1
LCM(235,502) = 117970
