Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 767,538 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 767,538 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 740,943
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 697820
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/697820
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 767/740,538/943 is 1/697820
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 740,943 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(740,943) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(740,943) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(740,943) = ( 740 × 943 ) / 1
LCM(740,943) = 697820 / 1
LCM(740,943) = 697820
