So the greatest common factor 1496,1768 is 136.
Lets's calculate LCM of 374,9099
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3403026
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 136/3403026
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1496/374,1768/9099 is 136/3403026
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 374,9099 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(374,9099) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(374,9099) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(374,9099) = ( 374 × 9099 ) / 1
LCM(374,9099) = 3403026 / 1
LCM(374,9099) = 3403026
