Lets's calculate LCM of 725,969
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 702525
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/702525
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 754/725,3162/969 is 2/702525
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 725,969 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(725,969) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(725,969) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(725,969) = ( 725 × 969 ) / 1
LCM(725,969) = 702525 / 1
LCM(725,969) = 702525
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
