:1,2,5,10,43,86,215,430
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 968,430 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 968,430 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 23,6002
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 138046
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/138046
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 968/23,430/6002 is 2/138046
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 23,6002 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(23,6002) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(23,6002) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(23,6002) = ( 23 × 6002 ) / 1
LCM(23,6002) = 138046 / 1
LCM(23,6002) = 138046
