So the greatest common factor 4356,7542 is 18.
Lets's calculate LCM of 741,2219
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1644279
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/1644279
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4356/741,7542/2219 is 18/1644279
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 741,2219 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(741,2219) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(741,2219) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(741,2219) = ( 741 × 2219 ) / 1
LCM(741,2219) = 1644279 / 1
LCM(741,2219) = 1644279
