1,3,13,19,39,57,247,741
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 993,741 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 993,741 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 994,735
7 | 994, 735 |
142, 105 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 142 x 105 = 104370
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/104370
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 993/994,741/735 is 3/104370
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 994,735 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(994,735) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(994,735) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(994,735) = ( 994 × 735 ) / 7
LCM(994,735) = 730590 / 7
LCM(994,735) = 104370
