We found the factors 738,434,338 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 738,434,338 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 271,906,763
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 187336338
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/187336338
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 738/271,434/906,338/763 is 2/187336338
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 271,906,763 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(271,906,763) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(271,906,763) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(271,906,763) = ( 271 × 906 × 763 ) / 1
LCM(271,906,763) = 187336338 / 1
LCM(271,906,763) = 187336338
