So the greatest common factor 276,460 is 92.
Lets's calculate LCM of 984,727
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 715368
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 92/715368
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 276/984,460/727 is 92/715368
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 984,727 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(984,727) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(984,727) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(984,727) = ( 984 × 727 ) / 1
LCM(984,727) = 715368 / 1
LCM(984,727) = 715368
