So the greatest common factor 704,732 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 473,758
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 358534
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/358534
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 704/473,732/758 is 4/358534
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 473,758 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(473,758) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(473,758) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(473,758) = ( 473 × 758 ) / 1
LCM(473,758) = 358534 / 1
LCM(473,758) = 358534
