We found the factors 743,771 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 743,771 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,5198
2 | 72, 5198 |
36, 2599 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 36 x 2599 = 187128
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/187128
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 743/72,771/5198 is 1/187128
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 72,5198 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,5198) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,5198) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(72,5198) = ( 72 × 5198 ) / 2
LCM(72,5198) = 374256 / 2
LCM(72,5198) = 187128
