1,2,3,6,929,1858,2787,5574
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 375,5574 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 375,5574 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,489
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 18093
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/18093
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 375/37,5574/489 is 3/18093
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 37,489 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,489) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(37,489) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(37,489) = ( 37 × 489 ) / 1
LCM(37,489) = 18093 / 1
LCM(37,489) = 18093
