1,5527
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1272,5527 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1272,5527 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 738,274
2 | 738, 274 |
369, 137 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 369 x 137 = 101106
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/101106
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1272/738,5527/274 is 1/101106
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 738,274 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(738,274) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(738,274) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(738,274) = ( 738 × 274 ) / 2
LCM(738,274) = 202212 / 2
LCM(738,274) = 101106
