So the greatest common factor 8984,6201 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 736,998
2 | 736, 998 |
368, 499 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 368 x 499 = 367264
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/367264
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8984/736,6201/998 is 1/367264
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 736,998 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(736,998) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(736,998) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(736,998) = ( 736 × 998 ) / 2
LCM(736,998) = 734528 / 2
LCM(736,998) = 367264
