We found the factors 997,4990 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 997,4990 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 738,9516
2 | 738, 9516 |
3 | 369, 4758 |
123, 1586 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 123 x 1586 = 1170468
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1170468
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 997/738,4990/9516 is 1/1170468
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 738,9516 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(738,9516) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(738,9516) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(738,9516) = ( 738 × 9516 ) / 6
LCM(738,9516) = 7022808 / 6
LCM(738,9516) = 1170468
