So the greatest common factor 720,774 is 18.
Lets's calculate LCM of 579,226
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 130854
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/130854
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 720/579,774/226 is 18/130854
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 579,226 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(579,226) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(579,226) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(579,226) = ( 579 × 226 ) / 1
LCM(579,226) = 130854 / 1
LCM(579,226) = 130854
