:1,503
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 741,503 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 741,503 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 396,754
2 | 396, 754 |
198, 377 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 198 x 377 = 149292
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/149292
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 741/396,503/754 is 1/149292
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 396,754 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(396,754) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(396,754) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(396,754) = ( 396 × 754 ) / 2
LCM(396,754) = 298584 / 2
LCM(396,754) = 149292
