So the greatest common factor 740,777 is 37.
Lets's calculate LCM of 662,976
2 | 662, 976 |
331, 488 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 331 x 488 = 323056
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 37/323056
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 740/662,777/976 is 37/323056
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 662,976 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(662,976) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(662,976) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(662,976) = ( 662 × 976 ) / 2
LCM(662,976) = 646112 / 2
LCM(662,976) = 323056
