∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 = 7
Now, list down the factors of 427
:1,7,61,427
Now, list down the factors of 672
:1,2,3,4,6,7,8,12,14,16,21,24,28,32,42,48,56,84,96,112,168,224,336,672
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 427,672 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 427,672 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 41,7481
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 306721
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/306721
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 427/41,672/7481 is 7/306721
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 41,7481 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,7481) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(41,7481) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(41,7481) = ( 41 × 7481 ) / 1
LCM(41,7481) = 306721 / 1
LCM(41,7481) = 306721
