So the greatest common factor 736,9732 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 85,524
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 44540
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/44540
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 736/85,9732/524 is 4/44540
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 85,524 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(85,524) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(85,524) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(85,524) = ( 85 × 524 ) / 1
LCM(85,524) = 44540 / 1
LCM(85,524) = 44540
