So the greatest common factor 204,352 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 725,983
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 712675
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/712675
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 204/725,352/983 is 4/712675
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 725,983 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(725,983) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(725,983) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(725,983) = ( 725 × 983 ) / 1
LCM(725,983) = 712675 / 1
LCM(725,983) = 712675
