:1,2,4,8,16,113,226,452,904,1808
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 896,1808 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 896,1808 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 901,801
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 721701
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/721701
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 896/901,1808/801 is 16/721701
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 901,801 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(901,801) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(901,801) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(901,801) = ( 901 × 801 ) / 1
LCM(901,801) = 721701 / 1
LCM(901,801) = 721701
