:1,2,3,4,6,8,12,19,24,38,57,76,114,152,228,456
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 726,456 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 726,456 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,517
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7755
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/7755
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 726/15,456/517 is 6/7755
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 15,517 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,517) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(15,517) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(15,517) = ( 15 × 517 ) / 1
LCM(15,517) = 7755 / 1
LCM(15,517) = 7755
