:1,2,4,8,107,214,428,856
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 452,856 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 452,856 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 991,442
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 438022
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/438022
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 452/991,856/442 is 4/438022
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 991,442 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(991,442) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(991,442) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(991,442) = ( 991 × 442 ) / 1
LCM(991,442) = 438022 / 1
LCM(991,442) = 438022
