Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 456,741 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 456,741 is 57.
Lets's calculate LCM of 79,6274
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 495646
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 57/495646
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 456/79,741/6274 is 57/495646
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 79,6274 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(79,6274) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(79,6274) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(79,6274) = ( 79 × 6274 ) / 1
LCM(79,6274) = 495646 / 1
LCM(79,6274) = 495646
