We found the factors 1029,9600 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1029,9600 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 742,473
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 350966
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/350966
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1029/742,9600/473 is 3/350966
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 742,473 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(742,473) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(742,473) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(742,473) = ( 742 × 473 ) / 1
LCM(742,473) = 350966 / 1
LCM(742,473) = 350966
