:1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,48
Now, list down the factors of 16
:1,2,4,8,16
Now, list down the factors of 384
:1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,32,48,64,96,128,192,384
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 48,16,384 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 48,16,384 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 31,801,412
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 10230372
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/10230372
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 48/31,16/801,384/412 is 16/10230372
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 31,801,412 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(31,801,412) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(31,801,412) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(31,801,412) = ( 31 × 801 × 412 ) / 1
LCM(31,801,412) = 10230372 / 1
LCM(31,801,412) = 10230372
