Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3721,7265 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3721,7265 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 737,3724
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2744588
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2744588
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3721/737,7265/3724 is 1/2744588
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 737,3724 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(737,3724) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(737,3724) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(737,3724) = ( 737 × 3724 ) / 1
LCM(737,3724) = 2744588 / 1
LCM(737,3724) = 2744588
