Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 572,524 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 572,524 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 974,729
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 710046
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/710046
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 572/974,524/729 is 4/710046
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 974,729 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(974,729) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(974,729) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(974,729) = ( 974 × 729 ) / 1
LCM(974,729) = 710046 / 1
LCM(974,729) = 710046
