:1,2,4,383,766,1532
Now, list down the factors of 3500
:1,2,4,5,7,10,14,20,25,28,35,50,70,100,125,140,175,250,350,500,700,875,1750,3500
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1532,3500 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1532,3500 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 831,9508
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7901148
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/7901148
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1532/831,3500/9508 is 4/7901148
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 831,9508 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(831,9508) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(831,9508) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(831,9508) = ( 831 × 9508 ) / 1
LCM(831,9508) = 7901148 / 1
LCM(831,9508) = 7901148
