Lets's calculate LCM of 736,748
2 | 736, 748 |
2 | 368, 374 |
184, 187 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 184 x 187 = 137632
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/137632
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 966/736,173/748 is 1/137632
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 736,748 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(736,748) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(736,748) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(736,748) = ( 736 × 748 ) / 4
LCM(736,748) = 550528 / 4
LCM(736,748) = 137632
