So the greatest common factor 736,286 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 85,545
5 | 85, 545 |
17, 109 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 17 x 109 = 9265
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/9265
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 736/85,286/545 is 2/9265
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 85,545 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(85,545) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(85,545) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(85,545) = ( 85 × 545 ) / 5
LCM(85,545) = 46325 / 5
LCM(85,545) = 9265
