:1,3,31,79,93,237,2449,7347
Now, list down the factors of 1994
:1,2,997,1994
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7347,1994 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7347,1994 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 538,373
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 200674
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/200674
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7347/538,1994/373 is 1/200674
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 538,373 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(538,373) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(538,373) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(538,373) = ( 538 × 373 ) / 1
LCM(538,373) = 200674 / 1
LCM(538,373) = 200674
