So the greatest common factor 406,5434 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 67,721
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 48307
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/48307
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 406/67,5434/721 is 2/48307
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 67,721 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(67,721) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(67,721) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(67,721) = ( 67 × 721 ) / 1
LCM(67,721) = 48307 / 1
LCM(67,721) = 48307
