Lets's calculate LCM of 829,358
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 296782
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/296782
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 726/829,952/358 is 2/296782
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 829,358 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(829,358) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(829,358) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(829,358) = ( 829 × 358 ) / 1
LCM(829,358) = 296782 / 1
LCM(829,358) = 296782
