:1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,48
Now, list down the factors of 928
:1,2,4,8,16,29,32,58,116,232,464,928
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 48,928 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 48,928 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 587,686
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 402682
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/402682
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 48/587,928/686 is 16/402682
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 587,686 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(587,686) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(587,686) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(587,686) = ( 587 × 686 ) / 1
LCM(587,686) = 402682 / 1
LCM(587,686) = 402682
