:1,2,3,4,6,8,9,11,12,16,18,22,24,27,33,36,44,48,54,66,72,88,99,108,132,144,176,198,216,264,297,396,432,528,594,792,1188,1584,2376,4752
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 891,4752 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 891,4752 is 297.
Lets's calculate LCM of 265,489
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 129585
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 297/129585
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 891/265,4752/489 is 297/129585
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 265,489 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(265,489) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(265,489) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(265,489) = ( 265 × 489 ) / 1
LCM(265,489) = 129585 / 1
LCM(265,489) = 129585
