Lets's calculate LCM of 731,491
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 358921
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/358921
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8487/731,2913/491 is 3/358921
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 731,491 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(731,491) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(731,491) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(731,491) = ( 731 × 491 ) / 1
LCM(731,491) = 358921 / 1
LCM(731,491) = 358921
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
