Lets's calculate LCM of 635,729
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 462915
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/462915
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8240/635,5470/729 is 10/462915
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 635,729 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(635,729) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(635,729) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(635,729) = ( 635 × 729 ) / 1
LCM(635,729) = 462915 / 1
LCM(635,729) = 462915
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
