So the greatest common factor 727,426 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 337,119
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 40103
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/40103
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 727/337,426/119 is 1/40103
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 337,119 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(337,119) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(337,119) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(337,119) = ( 337 × 119 ) / 1
LCM(337,119) = 40103 / 1
LCM(337,119) = 40103
