:1,2,11,19,22,38,209,418
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 232,418 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 232,418 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 587,352
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 206624
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/206624
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 232/587,418/352 is 2/206624
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 587,352 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(587,352) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(587,352) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(587,352) = ( 587 × 352 ) / 1
LCM(587,352) = 206624 / 1
LCM(587,352) = 206624
