Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2352,5504 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2352,5504 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 837,328
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 274536
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/274536
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2352/837,5504/328 is 16/274536
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 837,328 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(837,328) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(837,328) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(837,328) = ( 837 × 328 ) / 1
LCM(837,328) = 274536 / 1
LCM(837,328) = 274536
