So the greatest common factor 684,740 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 236,755
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 178180
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/178180
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 684/236,740/755 is 4/178180
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 236,755 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(236,755) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(236,755) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(236,755) = ( 236 × 755 ) / 1
LCM(236,755) = 178180 / 1
LCM(236,755) = 178180
