So the greatest common factor 704,726 is 22.
Lets's calculate LCM of 748,173
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 129404
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 22/129404
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 704/748,726/173 is 22/129404
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 748,173 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(748,173) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(748,173) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(748,173) = ( 748 × 173 ) / 1
LCM(748,173) = 129404 / 1
LCM(748,173) = 129404
