∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 453
:1,3,151,453
Now, list down the factors of 738
:1,2,3,6,9,18,41,82,123,246,369,738
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 453,738 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 453,738 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 28,727
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 20356
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/20356
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 453/28,738/727 is 3/20356
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 28,727 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(28,727) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(28,727) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(28,727) = ( 28 × 727 ) / 1
LCM(28,727) = 20356 / 1
LCM(28,727) = 20356
