Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8732,5760 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8732,5760 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 735,169
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 124215
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/124215
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8732/735,5760/169 is 4/124215
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 735,169 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(735,169) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(735,169) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(735,169) = ( 735 × 169 ) / 1
LCM(735,169) = 124215 / 1
LCM(735,169) = 124215
