So the greatest common factor 551,176 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 729,134
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 97686
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/97686
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 551/729,176/134 is 1/97686
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 729,134 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(729,134) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(729,134) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(729,134) = ( 729 × 134 ) / 1
LCM(729,134) = 97686 / 1
LCM(729,134) = 97686
