1,2,29,58,61,122,1769,3538
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7251,3538 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7251,3538 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 305,758
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 231190
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/231190
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7251/305,3538/758 is 1/231190
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 305,758 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(305,758) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(305,758) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(305,758) = ( 305 × 758 ) / 1
LCM(305,758) = 231190 / 1
LCM(305,758) = 231190
