So the greatest common factor 416,784 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 74,797
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 58978
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/58978
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 416/74,784/797 is 16/58978
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 74,797 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(74,797) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(74,797) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(74,797) = ( 74 × 797 ) / 1
LCM(74,797) = 58978 / 1
LCM(74,797) = 58978
