So the greatest common factor 3730,1752 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 910,493
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 448630
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/448630
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3730/910,1752/493 is 2/448630
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 910,493 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(910,493) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(910,493) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(910,493) = ( 910 × 493 ) / 1
LCM(910,493) = 448630 / 1
LCM(910,493) = 448630
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
