:1,2,4,5,10,20,25,29,50,58,100,116,145,290,580,725,1450,2900
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8738,2900 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8738,2900 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 876,103
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 90228
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/90228
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8738/876,2900/103 is 2/90228
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 876,103 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(876,103) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(876,103) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(876,103) = ( 876 × 103 ) / 1
LCM(876,103) = 90228 / 1
LCM(876,103) = 90228
