:1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,15,16,20,24,30,37,40,48,60,74,80,111,120,148,185,222,240,296,370,444,555,592,740,888,1110,1480,1776,2220,2960,4440,8880
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7387,8880 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7387,8880 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 473,360
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 170280
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/170280
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7387/473,8880/360 is 1/170280
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 473,360 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(473,360) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(473,360) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(473,360) = ( 473 × 360 ) / 1
LCM(473,360) = 170280 / 1
LCM(473,360) = 170280
