Lets's calculate LCM of 521,746
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 388666
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/388666
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 717/521,8730/746 is 3/388666
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 521,746 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(521,746) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(521,746) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(521,746) = ( 521 × 746 ) / 1
LCM(521,746) = 388666 / 1
LCM(521,746) = 388666
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
