Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 714,798 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 714,798 is 42.
Lets's calculate LCM of 73,2517
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 183741
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 42/183741
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 714/73,798/2517 is 42/183741
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 73,2517 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(73,2517) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(73,2517) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(73,2517) = ( 73 × 2517 ) / 1
LCM(73,2517) = 183741 / 1
LCM(73,2517) = 183741
