:1,2,3,4,6,12,17,34,51,68,102,204
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 396,204 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 396,204 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 82,1131
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 92742
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/92742
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 396/82,204/1131 is 12/92742
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 82,1131 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(82,1131) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(82,1131) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(82,1131) = ( 82 × 1131 ) / 1
LCM(82,1131) = 92742 / 1
LCM(82,1131) = 92742
