:1,2,4,83,166,332
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 277,332 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 277,332 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 27,738
3 | 27, 738 |
3 | 9, 246 |
3, 82 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 3 x 82 = 2214
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2214
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 277/27,332/738 is 1/2214
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 27,738 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(27,738) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(27,738) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(27,738) = ( 27 × 738 ) / 9
LCM(27,738) = 19926 / 9
LCM(27,738) = 2214
