Now, list down the factors of 382
:1,2,191,382
Now, list down the factors of 892
:1,2,4,223,446,892
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 382,892 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 382,892 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,281
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 11240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/11240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 382/40,892/281 is 2/11240
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 40,281 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,281) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,281) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(40,281) = ( 40 × 281 ) / 1
LCM(40,281) = 11240 / 1
LCM(40,281) = 11240
