So the greatest common factor 5207,1007 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 742,918
2 | 742, 918 |
371, 459 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 371 x 459 = 340578
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/340578
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5207/742,1007/918 is 1/340578
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 742,918 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(742,918) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(742,918) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(742,918) = ( 742 × 918 ) / 2
LCM(742,918) = 681156 / 2
LCM(742,918) = 340578
