:1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,15,16,20,24,30,40,41,48,60,80,82,120,123,164,205,240,246,328,410,492,615,656,820,984,1230,1640,1968,2460,3280,4920,9840
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 368,9840 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 368,9840 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 704,705
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 496320
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/496320
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 368/704,9840/705 is 16/496320
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 704,705 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(704,705) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(704,705) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(704,705) = ( 704 × 705 ) / 1
LCM(704,705) = 496320 / 1
LCM(704,705) = 496320
