So the greatest common factor 2796,3495 is 699.
Lets's calculate LCM of 742,429
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 318318
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 699/318318
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2796/742,3495/429 is 699/318318
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 742,429 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(742,429) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(742,429) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(742,429) = ( 742 × 429 ) / 1
LCM(742,429) = 318318 / 1
LCM(742,429) = 318318
