:1,2,4,8,53,106,212,424
Now, list down the factors of 487
:1,487
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 424,487 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 424,487 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 99,208
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 20592
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/20592
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 424/99,487/208 is 1/20592
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 99,208 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(99,208) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(99,208) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(99,208) = ( 99 × 208 ) / 1
LCM(99,208) = 20592 / 1
LCM(99,208) = 20592
