We found the factors 968,726 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 968,726 is 242.
Lets's calculate LCM of 475,652
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 309700
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 242/309700
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 968/475,726/652 is 242/309700
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 475,652 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(475,652) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(475,652) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(475,652) = ( 475 × 652 ) / 1
LCM(475,652) = 309700 / 1
LCM(475,652) = 309700
