We found the factors 7436,4940 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7436,4940 is 52.
Lets's calculate LCM of 554,741
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 410514
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 52/410514
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7436/554,4940/741 is 52/410514
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 554,741 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(554,741) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(554,741) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(554,741) = ( 554 × 741 ) / 1
LCM(554,741) = 410514 / 1
LCM(554,741) = 410514
