Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 732,716 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 732,716 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 603,998
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 601794
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/601794
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 732/603,716/998 is 4/601794
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 603,998 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(603,998) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(603,998) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(603,998) = ( 603 × 998 ) / 1
LCM(603,998) = 601794 / 1
LCM(603,998) = 601794
