:1,2,3,6,9,18,43,86,129,258,387,774
Now, list down the factors of 738
:1,2,3,6,9,18,41,82,123,246,369,738
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 774,738 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 774,738 is 18.
Lets's calculate LCM of 47,111
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5217
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/5217
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 774/47,738/111 is 18/5217
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 47,111 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(47,111) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(47,111) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(47,111) = ( 47 × 111 ) / 1
LCM(47,111) = 5217 / 1
LCM(47,111) = 5217
