:1,397
Now, list down the factors of 686
:1,2,7,14,49,98,343,686
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 397,686 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 397,686 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,864
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 31968
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/31968
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 397/37,686/864 is 1/31968
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 37,864 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,864) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(37,864) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(37,864) = ( 37 × 864 ) / 1
LCM(37,864) = 31968 / 1
LCM(37,864) = 31968
