Lets's calculate LCM of 739,9476
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7002764
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/7002764
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7318/739,8838/9476 is 2/7002764
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 739,9476 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(739,9476) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(739,9476) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(739,9476) = ( 739 × 9476 ) / 1
LCM(739,9476) = 7002764 / 1
LCM(739,9476) = 7002764
