:1,2,4,8,16,17,32,34,68,136,272,544
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 450,544 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 450,544 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,478
2 | 12, 478 |
6, 239 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 6 x 239 = 2868
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2868
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 450/12,544/478 is 2/2868
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 12,478 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,478) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(12,478) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(12,478) = ( 12 × 478 ) / 2
LCM(12,478) = 5736 / 2
LCM(12,478) = 2868
