Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 186,5332 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 186,5332 is 62.
Lets's calculate LCM of 738,715
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 527670
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 62/527670
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 186/738,5332/715 is 62/527670
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 738,715 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(738,715) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(738,715) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(738,715) = ( 738 × 715 ) / 1
LCM(738,715) = 527670 / 1
LCM(738,715) = 527670
