:1,2,3,6,9,11,13,18,22,26,33,39,66,78,99,117,143,198,234,286,429,858,1287,2574
Now, list down the factors of 1996
:1,2,4,499,998,1996
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2574,1996 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2574,1996 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 517,2754
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1423818
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1423818
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2574/517,1996/2754 is 2/1423818
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 517,2754 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(517,2754) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(517,2754) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(517,2754) = ( 517 × 2754 ) / 1
LCM(517,2754) = 1423818 / 1
LCM(517,2754) = 1423818
