So the greatest common factor 96,9536 is 32.
Lets's calculate LCM of 720,6271
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4515120
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 32/4515120
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 96/720,9536/6271 is 32/4515120
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 720,6271 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(720,6271) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(720,6271) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(720,6271) = ( 720 × 6271 ) / 1
LCM(720,6271) = 4515120 / 1
LCM(720,6271) = 4515120
