So the greatest common factor 282,3760 is 94.
Lets's calculate LCM of 724,8731
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6321244
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 94/6321244
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 282/724,3760/8731 is 94/6321244
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 724,8731 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(724,8731) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(724,8731) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(724,8731) = ( 724 × 8731 ) / 1
LCM(724,8731) = 6321244 / 1
LCM(724,8731) = 6321244
