Lets's calculate LCM of 687,738
3 | 687, 738 |
229, 246 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 229 x 246 = 169002
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/169002
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5640/687,2168/738 is 8/169002
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 687,738 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(687,738) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(687,738) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(687,738) = ( 687 × 738 ) / 3
LCM(687,738) = 507006 / 3
LCM(687,738) = 169002
