:1,2,7,14,17,34,119,238
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 239,238 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 239,238 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 877,436
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 382372
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/382372
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 239/877,238/436 is 1/382372
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 877,436 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(877,436) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(877,436) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(877,436) = ( 877 × 436 ) / 1
LCM(877,436) = 382372 / 1
LCM(877,436) = 382372
