Lets's calculate LCM of 726,291
3 | 726, 291 |
242, 97 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 242 x 97 = 70422
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/70422
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 590/726,3526/291 is 2/70422
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 726,291 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(726,291) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(726,291) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(726,291) = ( 726 × 291 ) / 3
LCM(726,291) = 211266 / 3
LCM(726,291) = 70422
