Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 462,699 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 462,699 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 73,8412
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 614076
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/614076
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 462/73,699/8412 is 3/614076
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 73,8412 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(73,8412) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(73,8412) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(73,8412) = ( 73 × 8412 ) / 1
LCM(73,8412) = 614076 / 1
LCM(73,8412) = 614076
