So the greatest common factor 272,396 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 865,733
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 634045
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/634045
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 272/865,396/733 is 4/634045
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 865,733 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(865,733) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(865,733) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(865,733) = ( 865 × 733 ) / 1
LCM(865,733) = 634045 / 1
LCM(865,733) = 634045
