∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 426
:1,2,3,6,71,142,213,426
Now, list down the factors of 406
:1,2,7,14,29,58,203,406
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 426,406 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 426,406 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 19,848
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 16112
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/16112
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 426/19,406/848 is 2/16112
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 19,848 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(19,848) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(19,848) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(19,848) = ( 19 × 848 ) / 1
LCM(19,848) = 16112 / 1
LCM(19,848) = 16112
