:1,2,3,6,7,14,21,42,47,94,141,282,329,658,987,1974
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7602,1974 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7602,1974 is 42.
Lets's calculate LCM of 778,455
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 353990
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 42/353990
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7602/778,1974/455 is 42/353990
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 778,455 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(778,455) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(778,455) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(778,455) = ( 778 × 455 ) / 1
LCM(778,455) = 353990 / 1
LCM(778,455) = 353990
