Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 240,373 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 240,373 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 674,709
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 477866
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/477866
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 240/674,373/709 is 1/477866
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 674,709 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(674,709) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(674,709) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(674,709) = ( 674 × 709 ) / 1
LCM(674,709) = 477866 / 1
LCM(674,709) = 477866
