:1,3,13,17,39,51,221,663
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 707,663 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 707,663 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,742
2 | 72, 742 |
36, 371 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 36 x 371 = 26712
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/26712
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 707/72,663/742 is 1/26712
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 72,742 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,742) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,742) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(72,742) = ( 72 × 742 ) / 2
LCM(72,742) = 53424 / 2
LCM(72,742) = 26712
