:1,3,17,37,51,111,629,1887
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2313,1887 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2313,1887 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 743,8940
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6642420
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/6642420
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2313/743,1887/8940 is 3/6642420
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 743,8940 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(743,8940) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(743,8940) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(743,8940) = ( 743 × 8940 ) / 1
LCM(743,8940) = 6642420 / 1
LCM(743,8940) = 6642420
