:1,2,4,5,8,10,16,20,40,80,113,226,452,565,904,1130,1808,2260,4520,9040
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8046,9040 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8046,9040 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 361,242
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 87362
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/87362
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8046/361,9040/242 is 2/87362
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 361,242 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(361,242) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(361,242) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(361,242) = ( 361 × 242 ) / 1
LCM(361,242) = 87362 / 1
LCM(361,242) = 87362
