:1,2,4,7,14,28,31,62,124,217,434,868
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 980,868 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 980,868 is 28.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,922
2 | 42, 922 |
21, 461 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 21 x 461 = 19362
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 28/19362
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 980/42,868/922 is 28/19362
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 42,922 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,922) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,922) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(42,922) = ( 42 × 922 ) / 2
LCM(42,922) = 38724 / 2
LCM(42,922) = 19362
