We found the factors 875,1271 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 875,1271 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 736,876
2 | 736, 876 |
2 | 368, 438 |
184, 219 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 184 x 219 = 161184
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/161184
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 875/736,1271/876 is 1/161184
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 736,876 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(736,876) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(736,876) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(736,876) = ( 736 × 876 ) / 4
LCM(736,876) = 644736 / 4
LCM(736,876) = 161184
