So the greatest common factor 7724,7276 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 742,9461
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7020062
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/7020062
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7724/742,7276/9461 is 4/7020062
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 742,9461 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(742,9461) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(742,9461) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(742,9461) = ( 742 × 9461 ) / 1
LCM(742,9461) = 7020062 / 1
LCM(742,9461) = 7020062
