1,5869
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3738,5869 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3738,5869 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 785,252
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 197820
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/197820
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3738/785,5869/252 is 1/197820
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 785,252 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(785,252) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(785,252) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(785,252) = ( 785 × 252 ) / 1
LCM(785,252) = 197820 / 1
LCM(785,252) = 197820
