So the greatest common factor 745,7041 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 978,638
| 2 | 978, 638 |
| 489, 319 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 489 x 319 = 311982
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/311982
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 745/978,7041/638 is 1/311982
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 978,638 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(978,638) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(978,638) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(978,638) = ( 978 × 638 ) / 2
LCM(978,638) = 623964 / 2
LCM(978,638) = 311982
