:1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,37,48,74,111,148,222,296,444,592,888,1776
Now, list down the factors of 8004
:1,2,3,4,6,12,23,29,46,58,69,87,92,116,138,174,276,348,667,1334,2001,2668,4002,8004
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1776,8004 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1776,8004 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 231,746
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 172326
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/172326
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1776/231,8004/746 is 12/172326
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 231,746 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(231,746) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(231,746) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(231,746) = ( 231 × 746 ) / 1
LCM(231,746) = 172326 / 1
LCM(231,746) = 172326
