:1,2,4,8,67,134,268,536
Now, list down the factors of 960
:1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,15,16,20,24,30,32,40,48,60,64,80,96,120,160,192,240,320,480,960
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 536,960 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 536,960 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 284,866
2 | 284, 866 |
142, 433 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 142 x 433 = 122972
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/122972
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 536/284,960/866 is 8/122972
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 284,866 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(284,866) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(284,866) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(284,866) = ( 284 × 866 ) / 2
LCM(284,866) = 245944 / 2
LCM(284,866) = 122972
