Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7237,7557 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7237,7557 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 721,5038
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3632398
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3632398
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7237/721,7557/5038 is 1/3632398
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 721,5038 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(721,5038) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(721,5038) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(721,5038) = ( 721 × 5038 ) / 1
LCM(721,5038) = 3632398 / 1
LCM(721,5038) = 3632398
