So the greatest common factor 777,1062 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 849,472
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 400728
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/400728
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 777/849,1062/472 is 3/400728
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 849,472 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(849,472) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(849,472) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(849,472) = ( 849 × 472 ) / 1
LCM(849,472) = 400728 / 1
LCM(849,472) = 400728
