Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 731,703 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 731,703 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,392
2 | 72, 392 |
2 | 36, 196 |
2 | 18, 98 |
9, 49 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 9 x 49 = 3528
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3528
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 731/72,703/392 is 1/3528
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 72,392 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,392) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,392) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(72,392) = ( 72 × 392 ) / 8
LCM(72,392) = 28224 / 8
LCM(72,392) = 3528
