So the greatest common factor 736,1785 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 202,288
2 | 202, 288 |
101, 144 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 101 x 144 = 29088
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/29088
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 736/202,1785/288 is 1/29088
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 202,288 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(202,288) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(202,288) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(202,288) = ( 202 × 288 ) / 2
LCM(202,288) = 58176 / 2
LCM(202,288) = 29088
