Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 739,188 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 739,188 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 379,729
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 276291
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/276291
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 739/379,188/729 is 1/276291
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 379,729 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(379,729) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(379,729) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(379,729) = ( 379 × 729 ) / 1
LCM(379,729) = 276291 / 1
LCM(379,729) = 276291
