So the greatest common factor 746,938 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 14,757
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 10598
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/10598
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 746/14,938/757 is 2/10598
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 14,757 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(14,757) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(14,757) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(14,757) = ( 14 × 757 ) / 1
LCM(14,757) = 10598 / 1
LCM(14,757) = 10598
