:1,2,4,5,8,10,16,20,25,40,50,80,100,200,400
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 768,400 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 768,400 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 861,530
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 456330
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/456330
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 768/861,400/530 is 16/456330
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 861,530 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(861,530) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(861,530) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(861,530) = ( 861 × 530 ) / 1
LCM(861,530) = 456330 / 1
LCM(861,530) = 456330
