We found the factors 3244,9548 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3244,9548 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 749,3996
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2993004
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/2993004
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3244/749,9548/3996 is 4/2993004
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 749,3996 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(749,3996) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(749,3996) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(749,3996) = ( 749 × 3996 ) / 1
LCM(749,3996) = 2993004 / 1
LCM(749,3996) = 2993004
