So the greatest common factor 2048,7212 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 703,1994
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1401782
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/1401782
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2048/703,7212/1994 is 4/1401782
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 703,1994 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(703,1994) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(703,1994) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(703,1994) = ( 703 × 1994 ) / 1
LCM(703,1994) = 1401782 / 1
LCM(703,1994) = 1401782
