Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6728,1761 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6728,1761 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 271,742
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 201082
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/201082
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6728/271,1761/742 is 1/201082
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 271,742 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(271,742) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(271,742) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(271,742) = ( 271 × 742 ) / 1
LCM(271,742) = 201082 / 1
LCM(271,742) = 201082
