:1,2,3,4,6,12,13,23,26,39,46,52,69,78,92,138,156,276,299,598,897,1196,1794,3588
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 12,3588 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 12,3588 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 734,7307
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5363338
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/5363338
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 12/734,3588/7307 is 12/5363338
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 734,7307 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(734,7307) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(734,7307) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(734,7307) = ( 734 × 7307 ) / 1
LCM(734,7307) = 5363338 / 1
LCM(734,7307) = 5363338
