Lets's calculate LCM of 727,536
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 389672
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/389672
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 870/727,1225/536 is 5/389672
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 727,536 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(727,536) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(727,536) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(727,536) = ( 727 × 536 ) / 1
LCM(727,536) = 389672 / 1
LCM(727,536) = 389672
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
