:1,2,3,4,6,8,11,12,22,24,33,44,66,88,132,264
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 384,264 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 384,264 is 24.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,527
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 37944
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 24/37944
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 384/72,264/527 is 24/37944
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 72,527 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,527) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,527) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(72,527) = ( 72 × 527 ) / 1
LCM(72,527) = 37944 / 1
LCM(72,527) = 37944
