:1,2,4,8,16,53,106,212,424,848
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 734,848 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 734,848 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 940,191
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 179540
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/179540
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 734/940,848/191 is 2/179540
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 940,191 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(940,191) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(940,191) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(940,191) = ( 940 × 191 ) / 1
LCM(940,191) = 179540 / 1
LCM(940,191) = 179540
