Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4320,9968 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4320,9968 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 734,997
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 731798
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/731798
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4320/734,9968/997 is 16/731798
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 734,997 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(734,997) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(734,997) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(734,997) = ( 734 × 997 ) / 1
LCM(734,997) = 731798 / 1
LCM(734,997) = 731798
