∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 11 = 66
Now, list down the factors of 462
:1,2,3,6,7,11,14,21,22,33,42,66,77,154,231,462
Now, list down the factors of 528
:1,2,3,4,6,8,11,12,16,22,24,33,44,48,66,88,132,176,264,528
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 462,528 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 462,528 is 66.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,1891
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 22692
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 66/22692
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 462/12,528/1891 is 66/22692
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 12,1891 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,1891) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(12,1891) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(12,1891) = ( 12 × 1891 ) / 1
LCM(12,1891) = 22692 / 1
LCM(12,1891) = 22692
