Lets's calculate LCM of 736,233
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 171488
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/171488
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5174/736,9930/233 is 2/171488
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 736,233 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(736,233) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(736,233) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(736,233) = ( 736 × 233 ) / 1
LCM(736,233) = 171488 / 1
LCM(736,233) = 171488
