So the greatest common factor 3562,7518 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 73,256
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 18688
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/18688
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3562/73,7518/256 is 2/18688
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 73,256 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(73,256) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(73,256) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(73,256) = ( 73 × 256 ) / 1
LCM(73,256) = 18688 / 1
LCM(73,256) = 18688
