1,3,9,27,311,933,2799,8397
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 737,8397 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 737,8397 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 436,7621
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3322756
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3322756
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 737/436,8397/7621 is 1/3322756
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 436,7621 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(436,7621) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(436,7621) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(436,7621) = ( 436 × 7621 ) / 1
LCM(436,7621) = 3322756 / 1
LCM(436,7621) = 3322756
