So the greatest common factor 738,763 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 136,904
2 | 136, 904 |
2 | 68, 452 |
2 | 34, 226 |
17, 113 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 17 x 113 = 15368
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/15368
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 738/136,763/904 is 1/15368
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 136,904 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(136,904) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(136,904) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(136,904) = ( 136 × 904 ) / 8
LCM(136,904) = 122944 / 8
LCM(136,904) = 15368
