Therefore, the GCF of 37/529,74/3938 is 37/2083202.
To find the highest common factor of 37,74, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 37 are 1, 37
The factors of 74 are 1, 2, 37, 74
The HCF of 37,74 is 37.
Lets's calculate GCF of 37,74
37 | 37, 74 |
1, 2 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 37 = 37
Lets's calculate LCM of 529,3938
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2083202
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 37/2083202
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 37/529,74/3938 is 37/2083202
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 529,3938 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(529,3938) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(529,3938) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(529,3938) = ( 529 × 3938 ) / 1
LCM(529,3938) = 2083202 / 1
LCM(529,3938) = 2083202
