:1,2,4,8,59,118,236,472
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 751,472 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 751,472 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 737,638
11 | 737, 638 |
67, 58 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 67 x 58 = 42746
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/42746
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 751/737,472/638 is 1/42746
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 737,638 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(737,638) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(737,638) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(737,638) = ( 737 × 638 ) / 11
LCM(737,638) = 470206 / 11
LCM(737,638) = 42746
