So the greatest common factor 6004,3172 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 378,731
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 276318
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/276318
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6004/378,3172/731 is 4/276318
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 378,731 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(378,731) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(378,731) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(378,731) = ( 378 × 731 ) / 1
LCM(378,731) = 276318 / 1
LCM(378,731) = 276318
