Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4382,7637 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4382,7637 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 724,241
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 174484
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/174484
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4382/724,7637/241 is 7/174484
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 724,241 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(724,241) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(724,241) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(724,241) = ( 724 × 241 ) / 1
LCM(724,241) = 174484 / 1
LCM(724,241) = 174484
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
