Now, list down the factors of 392
:1,2,4,7,8,14,28,49,56,98,196,392
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 336,392 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 336,392 is 56.
Lets's calculate LCM of 59,872
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 51448
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 56/51448
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 336/59,392/872 is 56/51448
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 59,872 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(59,872) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(59,872) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(59,872) = ( 59 × 872 ) / 1
LCM(59,872) = 51448 / 1
LCM(59,872) = 51448
