1,2,5,10,373,746,1865,3730
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3570,3730 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3570,3730 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,369
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 14760
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/14760
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3570/40,3730/369 is 10/14760
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 40,369 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,369) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,369) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(40,369) = ( 40 × 369 ) / 1
LCM(40,369) = 14760 / 1
LCM(40,369) = 14760
