:1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,15,16,20,24,30,32,40,48,60,64,80,96,120,160,192,240,320,480,960
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 968,960 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 968,960 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 331,668
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 221108
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/221108
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 968/331,960/668 is 8/221108
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 331,668 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(331,668) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(331,668) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(331,668) = ( 331 × 668 ) / 1
LCM(331,668) = 221108 / 1
LCM(331,668) = 221108
