:1,2,3,4,6,12,71,142,213,284,426,852
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 860,852 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 860,852 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 735,344
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 252840
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/252840
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 860/735,852/344 is 4/252840
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 735,344 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(735,344) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(735,344) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(735,344) = ( 735 × 344 ) / 1
LCM(735,344) = 252840 / 1
LCM(735,344) = 252840
