So the greatest common factor 731,338 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 199,808
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 160792
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/160792
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 731/199,338/808 is 1/160792
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 199,808 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(199,808) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(199,808) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(199,808) = ( 199 × 808 ) / 1
LCM(199,808) = 160792 / 1
LCM(199,808) = 160792
