So the greatest common factor 725,252 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 991,296
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 293336
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/293336
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 725/991,252/296 is 1/293336
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 991,296 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(991,296) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(991,296) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(991,296) = ( 991 × 296 ) / 1
LCM(991,296) = 293336 / 1
LCM(991,296) = 293336
