:1,2,4,8,53,106,212,424
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 477,424 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 477,424 is 53.
Lets's calculate LCM of 873,736
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 642528
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 53/642528
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 477/873,424/736 is 53/642528
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 873,736 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(873,736) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(873,736) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(873,736) = ( 873 × 736 ) / 1
LCM(873,736) = 642528 / 1
LCM(873,736) = 642528
