Greatest Common Factor

We found the factors 27,72 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 27,72 is 9.

Lets's calculate LCM of 226,731

Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 165206

Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/165206

Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 27/226,72/731 is 9/165206

Least Common Multiple of 226,731 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 226,731 with GCF Formula

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 226,731 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(226,731) = 1

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1

GCF(226,731) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1

LCM(226,731) = ( 226 × 731 ) / 1

LCM(226,731) = 165206 / 1

LCM(226,731) = 165206
