So the greatest common factor 7241,5967 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 742,9889
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7337638
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/7337638
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7241/742,5967/9889 is 13/7337638
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 742,9889 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(742,9889) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(742,9889) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(742,9889) = ( 742 × 9889 ) / 1
LCM(742,9889) = 7337638 / 1
LCM(742,9889) = 7337638
