Lets's calculate LCM of 739,378
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 279342
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/279342
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 999/739,119/378 is 1/279342
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 739,378 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(739,378) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(739,378) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(739,378) = ( 739 × 378 ) / 1
LCM(739,378) = 279342 / 1
LCM(739,378) = 279342
