So the greatest common factor 520,748 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 806,732
2 | 806, 732 |
403, 366 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 403 x 366 = 294996
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/294996
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 520/806,748/732 is 4/294996
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 806,732 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(806,732) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(806,732) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(806,732) = ( 806 × 732 ) / 2
LCM(806,732) = 589992 / 2
LCM(806,732) = 294996
