So the greatest common factor 286,1056 is 22.
Lets's calculate LCM of 746,8729
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6511834
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 22/6511834
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 286/746,1056/8729 is 22/6511834
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 746,8729 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(746,8729) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(746,8729) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(746,8729) = ( 746 × 8729 ) / 1
LCM(746,8729) = 6511834 / 1
LCM(746,8729) = 6511834
