Now, list down the factors of 4737
:1,3,1579,4737
Now, list down the factors of 1779
:1,3,593,1779
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4737,1779 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4737,1779 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 704,417
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 293568
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/293568
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4737/704,1779/417 is 3/293568
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 704,417 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(704,417) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(704,417) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(704,417) = ( 704 × 417 ) / 1
LCM(704,417) = 293568 / 1
LCM(704,417) = 293568
