So the greatest common factor 204,789 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 737,632
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 465784
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/465784
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 204/737,789/632 is 3/465784
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 737,632 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(737,632) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(737,632) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(737,632) = ( 737 × 632 ) / 1
LCM(737,632) = 465784 / 1
LCM(737,632) = 465784
