So the greatest common factor 752,986 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 603,473
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 285219
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/285219
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 752/603,986/473 is 2/285219
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 603,473 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(603,473) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(603,473) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(603,473) = ( 603 × 473 ) / 1
LCM(603,473) = 285219 / 1
LCM(603,473) = 285219
