Now, list down the factors of 777
:1,3,7,21,37,111,259,777
Now, list down the factors of 537
:1,3,179,537
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 777,537 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 777,537 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 41,236
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 9676
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/9676
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 777/41,537/236 is 3/9676
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 41,236 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,236) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(41,236) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(41,236) = ( 41 × 236 ) / 1
LCM(41,236) = 9676 / 1
LCM(41,236) = 9676
