So the greatest common factor 436,1656 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 406,7529
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3056774
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/3056774
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 436/406,1656/7529 is 4/3056774
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 406,7529 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(406,7529) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(406,7529) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(406,7529) = ( 406 × 7529 ) / 1
LCM(406,7529) = 3056774 / 1
LCM(406,7529) = 3056774
