:1,2,4,8,16,43,86,172,344,688
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 200,688 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 200,688 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 49,457
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 22393
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/22393
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 200/49,688/457 is 8/22393
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 49,457 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(49,457) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(49,457) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(49,457) = ( 49 × 457 ) / 1
LCM(49,457) = 22393 / 1
LCM(49,457) = 22393
