Now, list down the factors of 2772
:1,2,3,4,6,7,9,11,12,14,18,21,22,28,33,36,42,44,63,66,77,84,99,126,132,154,198,231,252,308,396,462,693,924,1386,2772
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 154,2772 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 154,2772 is 154.
Lets's calculate LCM of 756,491
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 371196
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 154/371196
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 154/756,2772/491 is 154/371196
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 756,491 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(756,491) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(756,491) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(756,491) = ( 756 × 491 ) / 1
LCM(756,491) = 371196 / 1
LCM(756,491) = 371196
