:1,7297
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7372,7297 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7372,7297 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 941,132
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 124212
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/124212
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7372/941,7297/132 is 1/124212
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 941,132 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(941,132) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(941,132) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(941,132) = ( 941 × 132 ) / 1
LCM(941,132) = 124212 / 1
LCM(941,132) = 124212
