We found the factors 6556,4862 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6556,4862 is 22.
Lets's calculate LCM of 727,240
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 174480
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 22/174480
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6556/727,4862/240 is 22/174480
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 727,240 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(727,240) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(727,240) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(727,240) = ( 727 × 240 ) / 1
LCM(727,240) = 174480 / 1
LCM(727,240) = 174480
