:1,2,4,8,16,61,122,244,488,976
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 576,976 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 576,976 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 241,728
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 175448
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/175448
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 576/241,976/728 is 16/175448
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 241,728 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(241,728) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(241,728) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(241,728) = ( 241 × 728 ) / 1
LCM(241,728) = 175448 / 1
LCM(241,728) = 175448
