So the greatest common factor 4232,4738 is 46.
Lets's calculate LCM of 734,870
2 | 734, 870 |
367, 435 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 367 x 435 = 319290
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 46/319290
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4232/734,4738/870 is 46/319290
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 734,870 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(734,870) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(734,870) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(734,870) = ( 734 × 870 ) / 2
LCM(734,870) = 638580 / 2
LCM(734,870) = 319290
