Now, list down the factors of 851
:1,23,37,851
Now, list down the factors of 7072
:1,2,4,8,13,16,17,26,32,34,52,68,104,136,208,221,272,416,442,544,884,1768,3536,7072
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 851,7072 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 851,7072 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 977,731
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 714187
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/714187
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 851/977,7072/731 is 1/714187
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 977,731 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(977,731) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(977,731) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(977,731) = ( 977 × 731 ) / 1
LCM(977,731) = 714187 / 1
LCM(977,731) = 714187
