:1,3,13,19,39,57,247,741
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 672,741 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 672,741 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 537,872
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 468264
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/468264
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 672/537,741/872 is 3/468264
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 537,872 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(537,872) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(537,872) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(537,872) = ( 537 × 872 ) / 1
LCM(537,872) = 468264 / 1
LCM(537,872) = 468264
