Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 737,818 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 737,818 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 406,738
2 | 406, 738 |
203, 369 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 203 x 369 = 149814
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/149814
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 737/406,818/738 is 1/149814
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 406,738 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(406,738) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(406,738) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(406,738) = ( 406 × 738 ) / 2
LCM(406,738) = 299628 / 2
LCM(406,738) = 149814
