Lets's calculate LCM of 159,736
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 117024
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/117024
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 694/159,516/736 is 2/117024
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 159,736 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(159,736) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(159,736) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(159,736) = ( 159 × 736 ) / 1
LCM(159,736) = 117024 / 1
LCM(159,736) = 117024
