So the greatest common factor 7216,1148 is 164.
Lets's calculate LCM of 744,1781
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1325064
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 164/1325064
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7216/744,1148/1781 is 164/1325064
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 744,1781 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(744,1781) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(744,1781) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(744,1781) = ( 744 × 1781 ) / 1
LCM(744,1781) = 1325064 / 1
LCM(744,1781) = 1325064
