Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2974,9912 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2974,9912 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 721,6500
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4686500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4686500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2974/721,9912/6500 is 2/4686500
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 721,6500 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(721,6500) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(721,6500) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(721,6500) = ( 721 × 6500 ) / 1
LCM(721,6500) = 4686500 / 1
LCM(721,6500) = 4686500
