We found the factors 4221,4752 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4221,4752 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 727,751
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 545977
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/545977
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4221/727,4752/751 is 9/545977
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 727,751 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(727,751) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(727,751) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(727,751) = ( 727 × 751 ) / 1
LCM(727,751) = 545977 / 1
LCM(727,751) = 545977
