So the greatest common factor 733,786 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,4372
2 | 42, 4372 |
21, 2186 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 21 x 2186 = 91812
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/91812
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 733/42,786/4372 is 1/91812
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 42,4372 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,4372) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,4372) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(42,4372) = ( 42 × 4372 ) / 2
LCM(42,4372) = 183624 / 2
LCM(42,4372) = 91812
