:1,2,4,8,16,43,86,172,344,688
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 944,688 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 944,688 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 46,149
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6854
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/6854
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 944/46,688/149 is 16/6854
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 46,149 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(46,149) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(46,149) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(46,149) = ( 46 × 149 ) / 1
LCM(46,149) = 6854 / 1
LCM(46,149) = 6854
