Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4116,9980 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4116,9980 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 498,739
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 368022
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/368022
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4116/498,9980/739 is 4/368022
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 498,739 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(498,739) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(498,739) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(498,739) = ( 498 × 739 ) / 1
LCM(498,739) = 368022 / 1
LCM(498,739) = 368022
