So the greatest common factor 72,7581 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 590,3750
2 | 590, 3750 |
5 | 295, 1875 |
59, 375 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 59 x 375 = 221250
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/221250
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 72/590,7581/3750 is 3/221250
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 590,3750 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(590,3750) = 10
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(590,3750) x common factors =10 x 1 = 10
LCM(590,3750) = ( 590 × 3750 ) / 10
LCM(590,3750) = 2212500 / 10
LCM(590,3750) = 221250
