Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 373,449 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 373,449 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 73,9956
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 726788
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/726788
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 373/73,449/9956 is 1/726788
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 73,9956 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(73,9956) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(73,9956) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(73,9956) = ( 73 × 9956 ) / 1
LCM(73,9956) = 726788 / 1
LCM(73,9956) = 726788
