Lets's calculate LCM of 725,755
5 | 725, 755 |
145, 151 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 145 x 151 = 109475
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/109475
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1494/725,5138/755 is 2/109475
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 725,755 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(725,755) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(725,755) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(725,755) = ( 725 × 755 ) / 5
LCM(725,755) = 547375 / 5
LCM(725,755) = 109475
