So the greatest common factor 763,420 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 158,599
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 94642
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/94642
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 763/158,420/599 is 7/94642
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 158,599 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(158,599) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(158,599) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(158,599) = ( 158 × 599 ) / 1
LCM(158,599) = 94642 / 1
LCM(158,599) = 94642
