:1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,15,16,20,24,30,32,40,48,60,64,80,96,120,160,192,240,320,480,960
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 760,960 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 760,960 is 40.
Lets's calculate LCM of 578,167
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 96526
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 40/96526
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 760/578,960/167 is 40/96526
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 578,167 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(578,167) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(578,167) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(578,167) = ( 578 × 167 ) / 1
LCM(578,167) = 96526 / 1
LCM(578,167) = 96526
