So the greatest common factor 1532,4606 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 737,7074
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5213538
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/5213538
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1532/737,4606/7074 is 2/5213538
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 737,7074 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(737,7074) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(737,7074) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(737,7074) = ( 737 × 7074 ) / 1
LCM(737,7074) = 5213538 / 1
LCM(737,7074) = 5213538
