:1,3,9,27,71,81,213,639,1917,5751
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1956,5751 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1956,5751 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 773,740
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 572020
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/572020
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1956/773,5751/740 is 3/572020
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 773,740 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(773,740) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(773,740) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(773,740) = ( 773 × 740 ) / 1
LCM(773,740) = 572020 / 1
LCM(773,740) = 572020
