Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 738,573 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 738,573 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 474,429
3 | 474, 429 |
158, 143 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 158 x 143 = 67782
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/67782
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 738/474,573/429 is 3/67782
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 474,429 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(474,429) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(474,429) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(474,429) = ( 474 × 429 ) / 3
LCM(474,429) = 203346 / 3
LCM(474,429) = 67782
