So the greatest common factor 8857,1036 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 101,736
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 74336
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/74336
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8857/101,1036/736 is 1/74336
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 101,736 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(101,736) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(101,736) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(101,736) = ( 101 × 736 ) / 1
LCM(101,736) = 74336 / 1
LCM(101,736) = 74336
