So the greatest common factor 2727,7470 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 54,742
2 | 54, 742 |
27, 371 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 27 x 371 = 20034
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/20034
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2727/54,7470/742 is 9/20034
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 54,742 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(54,742) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(54,742) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(54,742) = ( 54 × 742 ) / 2
LCM(54,742) = 40068 / 2
LCM(54,742) = 20034
