So the greatest common factor 1668,1320 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 746,227
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 169342
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/169342
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1668/746,1320/227 is 12/169342
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 746,227 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(746,227) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(746,227) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(746,227) = ( 746 × 227 ) / 1
LCM(746,227) = 169342 / 1
LCM(746,227) = 169342
