:1,2,4,8,16,31,32,62,64,124,248,496,992,1984
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 920,1984 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 920,1984 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 871,515
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 448565
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/448565
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 920/871,1984/515 is 8/448565
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 871,515 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(871,515) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(871,515) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(871,515) = ( 871 × 515 ) / 1
LCM(871,515) = 448565 / 1
LCM(871,515) = 448565
