Lets's calculate LCM of 736,2973
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2188128
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2188128
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 92/736,8742/2973 is 2/2188128
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 736,2973 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(736,2973) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(736,2973) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(736,2973) = ( 736 × 2973 ) / 1
LCM(736,2973) = 2188128 / 1
LCM(736,2973) = 2188128
