:1,2,3,4,6,12,23,46,69,92,138,276
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 598,276 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 598,276 is 46.
Lets's calculate LCM of 55,296
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 16280
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 46/16280
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 598/55,276/296 is 46/16280
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 55,296 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(55,296) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(55,296) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(55,296) = ( 55 × 296 ) / 1
LCM(55,296) = 16280 / 1
LCM(55,296) = 16280
