So the greatest common factor 732,162 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 722,170
| 2 | 722, 170 |
| 361, 85 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 361 x 85 = 61370
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/61370
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 732/722,162/170 is 6/61370
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 722,170 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(722,170) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(722,170) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(722,170) = ( 722 × 170 ) / 2
LCM(722,170) = 122740 / 2
LCM(722,170) = 61370
