We found the factors 71,6262 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 71,6262 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 396,8742
2 | 396, 8742 |
3 | 198, 4371 |
66, 1457 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 66 x 1457 = 576972
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/576972
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 71/396,6262/8742 is 1/576972
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 396,8742 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(396,8742) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(396,8742) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(396,8742) = ( 396 × 8742 ) / 6
LCM(396,8742) = 3461832 / 6
LCM(396,8742) = 576972
