Lets's calculate LCM of 749,912
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 683088
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/683088
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 250/749,5876/912 is 2/683088
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 749,912 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(749,912) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(749,912) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(749,912) = ( 749 × 912 ) / 1
LCM(749,912) = 683088 / 1
LCM(749,912) = 683088
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
