Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 704,644 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 704,644 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 41,936
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 38376
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/38376
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 704/41,644/936 is 4/38376
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 41,936 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,936) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(41,936) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(41,936) = ( 41 × 936 ) / 1
LCM(41,936) = 38376 / 1
LCM(41,936) = 38376
