So the greatest common factor 572,740 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 716,603
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 431748
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/431748
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 572/716,740/603 is 4/431748
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 716,603 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(716,603) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(716,603) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(716,603) = ( 716 × 603 ) / 1
LCM(716,603) = 431748 / 1
LCM(716,603) = 431748
