So the greatest common factor 4240,7337 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 787,310
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 243970
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/243970
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4240/787,7337/310 is 1/243970
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 787,310 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(787,310) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(787,310) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(787,310) = ( 787 × 310 ) / 1
LCM(787,310) = 243970 / 1
LCM(787,310) = 243970
