Now, list down the factors of 523
:1,523
Now, list down the factors of 968
:1,2,4,8,11,22,44,88,121,242,484,968
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 523,968 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 523,968 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,716
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 26492
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/26492
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 523/37,968/716 is 1/26492
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 37,716 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,716) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(37,716) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(37,716) = ( 37 × 716 ) / 1
LCM(37,716) = 26492 / 1
LCM(37,716) = 26492
