Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3734,7220 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3734,7220 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 220,2247
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 494340
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/494340
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3734/220,7220/2247 is 2/494340
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 220,2247 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(220,2247) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(220,2247) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(220,2247) = ( 220 × 2247 ) / 1
LCM(220,2247) = 494340 / 1
LCM(220,2247) = 494340
