Lets's calculate LCM of 17,470

Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7990

Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/7990

Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 742/17,2976/470 is 2/7990

Least Common Multiple of 17,470 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 17,470 with GCF Formula

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 17,470 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(17,470) = 1

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1

GCF(17,470) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1

LCM(17,470) = ( 17 × 470 ) / 1

LCM(17,470) = 7990 / 1

LCM(17,470) = 7990
