Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 788,2541 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 788,2541 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 742,949
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 704158
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/704158
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 788/742,2541/949 is 1/704158
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 742,949 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(742,949) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(742,949) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(742,949) = ( 742 × 949 ) / 1
LCM(742,949) = 704158 / 1
LCM(742,949) = 704158
