We found the factors 733,178 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 733,178 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 7368,2783
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 20505144
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/20505144
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 733/7368,178/2783 is 1/20505144
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 7368,2783 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(7368,2783) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(7368,2783) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(7368,2783) = ( 7368 × 2783 ) / 1
LCM(7368,2783) = 20505144 / 1
LCM(7368,2783) = 20505144
