:1,2,4,5,8,10,20,25,37,40,50,74,100,148,185,200,296,370,740,925,1480,1850,3700,7400
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5592,7400 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5592,7400 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 419,318
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 133242
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/133242
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5592/419,7400/318 is 8/133242
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 419,318 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(419,318) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(419,318) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(419,318) = ( 419 × 318 ) / 1
LCM(419,318) = 133242 / 1
LCM(419,318) = 133242
