Lets's calculate LCM of 722,779
19 | 722, 779 |
38, 41 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 19 x 38 x 41 = 29602
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/29602
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 260/722,9971/779 is 13/29602
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 722,779 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(722,779) = 19
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(722,779) x common factors =19 x 1 = 19
LCM(722,779) = ( 722 × 779 ) / 19
LCM(722,779) = 562438 / 19
LCM(722,779) = 29602
