So the greatest common factor 702,492 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 735,237
3 | 735, 237 |
245, 79 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 245 x 79 = 58065
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/58065
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 702/735,492/237 is 6/58065
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 735,237 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(735,237) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(735,237) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(735,237) = ( 735 × 237 ) / 3
LCM(735,237) = 174195 / 3
LCM(735,237) = 58065
