Lets's calculate GCF of 737,178
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 737
:1,11,67,737
Now, list down the factors of 178
:1,2,89,178
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 737,178 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 737,178 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 41,728
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 29848
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/29848
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 737/41,178/728 is 1/29848
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 41,728 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,728) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(41,728) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(41,728) = ( 41 × 728 ) / 1
LCM(41,728) = 29848 / 1
LCM(41,728) = 29848
