So the greatest common factor 127,399 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 642,736
2 | 642, 736 |
321, 368 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 321 x 368 = 236256
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/236256
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 127/642,399/736 is 1/236256
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 642,736 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(642,736) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(642,736) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(642,736) = ( 642 × 736 ) / 2
LCM(642,736) = 472512 / 2
LCM(642,736) = 236256
