So the greatest common factor 237,160 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 744,821
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 610824
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/610824
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 237/744,160/821 is 1/610824
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 744,821 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(744,821) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(744,821) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(744,821) = ( 744 × 821 ) / 1
LCM(744,821) = 610824 / 1
LCM(744,821) = 610824
