1,2,4,8,13,26,43,52,86,104,172,344,559,1118,2236,4472
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 731,4472 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 731,4472 is 43.
Lets's calculate LCM of 66,379
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 25014
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 43/25014
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 731/66,4472/379 is 43/25014
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 66,379 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(66,379) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(66,379) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(66,379) = ( 66 × 379 ) / 1
LCM(66,379) = 25014 / 1
LCM(66,379) = 25014
