Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4636,4332 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4636,4332 is 76.
Lets's calculate LCM of 731,701
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 512431
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 76/512431
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4636/731,4332/701 is 76/512431
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 731,701 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(731,701) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(731,701) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(731,701) = ( 731 × 701 ) / 1
LCM(731,701) = 512431 / 1
LCM(731,701) = 512431
