:1,2,4,8,109,218,436,872
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 584,872 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 584,872 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 78,859
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 67002
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/67002
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 584/78,872/859 is 8/67002
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 78,859 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,859) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(78,859) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(78,859) = ( 78 × 859 ) / 1
LCM(78,859) = 67002 / 1
LCM(78,859) = 67002
