Now, list down the factors of 77
:1,7,11,77
Now, list down the factors of 72
:1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,18,24,36,72
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 77,72 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 77,72 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 220,5437
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1196140
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1196140
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 77/220,72/5437 is 1/1196140
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 220,5437 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(220,5437) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(220,5437) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(220,5437) = ( 220 × 5437 ) / 1
LCM(220,5437) = 1196140 / 1
LCM(220,5437) = 1196140
