So the greatest common factor 3040,6256 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 729,913
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 665577
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/665577
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3040/729,6256/913 is 16/665577
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 729,913 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(729,913) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(729,913) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(729,913) = ( 729 × 913 ) / 1
LCM(729,913) = 665577 / 1
LCM(729,913) = 665577
