1,2,7,14,41,82,287,574
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 728,574 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 728,574 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 29,7189
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 208481
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/208481
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 728/29,574/7189 is 14/208481
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 29,7189 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(29,7189) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(29,7189) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(29,7189) = ( 29 × 7189 ) / 1
LCM(29,7189) = 208481 / 1
LCM(29,7189) = 208481
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
