Now, list down the factors of 3744
:1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,13,16,18,24,26,32,36,39,48,52,72,78,96,104,117,144,156,208,234,288,312,416,468,624,936,1248,1872,3744
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 702,3744 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 702,3744 is 234.
Lets's calculate LCM of 227,535
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 121445
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 234/121445
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 702/227,3744/535 is 234/121445
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 227,535 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(227,535) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(227,535) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(227,535) = ( 227 × 535 ) / 1
LCM(227,535) = 121445 / 1
LCM(227,535) = 121445
