So the greatest common factor 936,973 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 466,749
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 349034
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/349034
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 936/466,973/749 is 1/349034
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 466,749 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(466,749) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(466,749) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(466,749) = ( 466 × 749 ) / 1
LCM(466,749) = 349034 / 1
LCM(466,749) = 349034
