Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7487,5036 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7487,5036 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 729,3076
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2242404
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2242404
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7487/729,5036/3076 is 1/2242404
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 729,3076 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(729,3076) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(729,3076) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(729,3076) = ( 729 × 3076 ) / 1
LCM(729,3076) = 2242404 / 1
LCM(729,3076) = 2242404
