:1,3,239,717
Now, list down the factors of 2938
:1,2,13,26,113,226,1469,2938
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 717,2938 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 717,2938 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 463,737
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 341231
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/341231
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 717/463,2938/737 is 1/341231
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 463,737 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(463,737) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(463,737) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(463,737) = ( 463 × 737 ) / 1
LCM(463,737) = 341231 / 1
LCM(463,737) = 341231
