So the greatest common factor 3986,1724 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 627,549
3 | 627, 549 |
209, 183 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 209 x 183 = 114741
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/114741
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3986/627,1724/549 is 2/114741
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 627,549 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(627,549) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(627,549) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(627,549) = ( 627 × 549 ) / 3
LCM(627,549) = 344223 / 3
LCM(627,549) = 114741
