Lets's calculate LCM of 733,4756
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3486148
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/3486148
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3402/733,7038/4756 is 18/3486148
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 733,4756 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(733,4756) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(733,4756) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(733,4756) = ( 733 × 4756 ) / 1
LCM(733,4756) = 3486148 / 1
LCM(733,4756) = 3486148
