:1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,13,16,18,24,26,36,39,48,52,72,78,104,117,144,156,208,234,312,468,624,936,1872
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3501,1872 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3501,1872 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 268,755
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 202340
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/202340
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3501/268,1872/755 is 9/202340
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 268,755 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(268,755) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(268,755) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(268,755) = ( 268 × 755 ) / 1
LCM(268,755) = 202340 / 1
LCM(268,755) = 202340
