:1,2,4,8,16,17,34,68,136,272
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 816,272 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 816,272 is 272.
Lets's calculate LCM of 541,957
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 517737
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 272/517737
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 816/541,272/957 is 272/517737
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 541,957 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(541,957) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(541,957) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(541,957) = ( 541 × 957 ) / 1
LCM(541,957) = 517737 / 1
LCM(541,957) = 517737
