Now, list down the factors of 374
:1,2,11,17,22,34,187,374
Now, list down the factors of 261
:1,3,9,29,87,261
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 374,261 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 374,261 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 752,711
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 534672
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/534672
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 374/752,261/711 is 1/534672
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 752,711 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(752,711) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(752,711) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(752,711) = ( 752 × 711 ) / 1
LCM(752,711) = 534672 / 1
LCM(752,711) = 534672
