:1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,48,173,346,519,692,1038,1384,2076,2768,4152,8304
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1978,8304 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1978,8304 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 247,1719
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 424593
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/424593
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1978/247,8304/1719 is 2/424593
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 247,1719 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(247,1719) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(247,1719) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(247,1719) = ( 247 × 1719 ) / 1
LCM(247,1719) = 424593 / 1
LCM(247,1719) = 424593
