:1,2,4,7,8,14,16,28,32,56,64,112,128,224,256,448,512,896,1792,3584
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 382,3584 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 382,3584 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 172,157
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 27004
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/27004
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 382/172,3584/157 is 2/27004
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 172,157 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(172,157) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(172,157) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(172,157) = ( 172 × 157 ) / 1
LCM(172,157) = 27004 / 1
LCM(172,157) = 27004
