:1,2,4,8,16,61,122,244,488,976
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 352,976 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 352,976 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 67,253
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 16951
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/16951
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 352/67,976/253 is 16/16951
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 67,253 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(67,253) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(67,253) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(67,253) = ( 67 × 253 ) / 1
LCM(67,253) = 16951 / 1
LCM(67,253) = 16951
