So the greatest common factor 296,737 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 747,253
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 188991
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/188991
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 296/747,737/253 is 1/188991
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 747,253 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(747,253) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(747,253) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(747,253) = ( 747 × 253 ) / 1
LCM(747,253) = 188991 / 1
LCM(747,253) = 188991
