Lets's calculate LCM of 733,231
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 169323
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/169323
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 950/733,598/231 is 2/169323
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 733,231 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(733,231) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(733,231) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(733,231) = ( 733 × 231 ) / 1
LCM(733,231) = 169323 / 1
LCM(733,231) = 169323
