Determine
$gcd(2^4 \cdot 3^2 \cdot 5 \cdot 7^2, 2 \cdot 3^3 \cdot 7 \cdot 11)=\boxed{126}$
and
$lcd(2^3 \cdot 3^2 \cdot 5,2 \cdot 3^3 \cdot 7 \cdot 11)=\boxed{83160}$
the number in the box is what W$\vert$A returned
ok i was doing stuff like this about a year ago but forgot
so assume to start
$gcd(35280,4158)$
but can't we take advantage of the powers

prime factorization …

$35280 = 2^4 \cdot 3^2 \cdot 5 \cdot 7^2$
$4158 = 2 \cdot 3^3 \cdot 7 \cdot 11$

greatest common divisor includes the least power of all common factors …
$2 \cdot 3^2 \cdot 7 = 126$

least common multiple includes the greatest power of all common factors and the factors the two values do not have in common …
$2^4 \cdot 3^3 \cdot 5 \cdot 7^2 \cdot 11 = 1164240$
 
Mahalo
so its just choosing the powers then calculate

Well, it is knowing what these things are, what their definitions are!

And note that it is "least common multiple", "lcm", NOT "lcd".

Thread 'Derivation of equations of stress tensor transformation'
Hello ! I derived equations of stress tensor 2D transformation. Some details: I have plane ABCD in two cases (see top on the pic) and I know tensor components for case 1 only. Only plane ABCD rotate in two cases (top of the picture) but not coordinate system. Coordinate system rotates only on the bottom of picture. I want to obtain expression that connects tensor for case 1 and tensor for case 2. My attempt: Are these equations correct? Is there more easier expression for stress tensor...
