Lets's calculate LCM of 730,228
2 | 730, 228 |
365, 114 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 365 x 114 = 83220
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/83220
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 426/730,9735/228 is 3/83220
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 730,228 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(730,228) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(730,228) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(730,228) = ( 730 × 228 ) / 2
LCM(730,228) = 166440 / 2
LCM(730,228) = 83220
