:1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,13,18,24,26,36,39,52,72,78,104,117,156,234,312,468,936
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 482,936 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 482,936 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 973,991
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 964243
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/964243
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 482/973,936/991 is 2/964243
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 973,991 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(973,991) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(973,991) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(973,991) = ( 973 × 991 ) / 1
LCM(973,991) = 964243 / 1
LCM(973,991) = 964243
