:1,2,4,8,16,17,34,68,136,272
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 346,272 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 346,272 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 501,446
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 223446
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/223446
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 346/501,272/446 is 2/223446
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 501,446 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(501,446) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(501,446) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(501,446) = ( 501 × 446 ) / 1
LCM(501,446) = 223446 / 1
LCM(501,446) = 223446
