So the greatest common factor 2796,2592 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 404,737
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 297748
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/297748
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2796/404,2592/737 is 12/297748
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 404,737 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(404,737) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(404,737) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(404,737) = ( 404 × 737 ) / 1
LCM(404,737) = 297748 / 1
LCM(404,737) = 297748
