:1,2,3,4,6,12,23,46,69,92,138,276
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 726,276 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 726,276 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 28,919
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 25732
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/25732
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 726/28,276/919 is 6/25732
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 28,919 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(28,919) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(28,919) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(28,919) = ( 28 × 919 ) / 1
LCM(28,919) = 25732 / 1
LCM(28,919) = 25732
