:1,2,4,7,13,14,23,26,28,46,52,91,92,161,182,299,322,364,598,644,1196,2093,4186,8372
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7504,8372 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7504,8372 is 28.
Lets's calculate LCM of 452,724
2 | 452, 724 |
2 | 226, 362 |
113, 181 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 113 x 181 = 81812
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 28/81812
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7504/452,8372/724 is 28/81812
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 452,724 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(452,724) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(452,724) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(452,724) = ( 452 × 724 ) / 4
LCM(452,724) = 327248 / 4
LCM(452,724) = 81812
