Now, list down the factors of 7037
:1,31,227,7037
Now, list down the factors of 8993
:1,17,23,391,529,8993
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7037,8993 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7037,8993 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 41,368
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 15088
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/15088
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7037/41,8993/368 is 1/15088
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 41,368 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,368) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(41,368) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(41,368) = ( 41 × 368 ) / 1
LCM(41,368) = 15088 / 1
LCM(41,368) = 15088
