So the greatest common factor 844,728 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 97,7401
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 717897
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/717897
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 844/97,728/7401 is 4/717897
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 97,7401 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(97,7401) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(97,7401) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(97,7401) = ( 97 × 7401 ) / 1
LCM(97,7401) = 717897 / 1
LCM(97,7401) = 717897
