Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 735,189 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 735,189 is 21.
Lets's calculate LCM of 28,149
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4172
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 21/4172
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 735/28,189/149 is 21/4172
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 28,149 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(28,149) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(28,149) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(28,149) = ( 28 × 149 ) / 1
LCM(28,149) = 4172 / 1
LCM(28,149) = 4172
