So the greatest common factor 668,836 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 621,741
3 | 621, 741 |
207, 247 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 207 x 247 = 153387
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/153387
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 668/621,836/741 is 4/153387
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 621,741 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(621,741) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(621,741) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(621,741) = ( 621 × 741 ) / 3
LCM(621,741) = 460161 / 3
LCM(621,741) = 153387
