Lets's calculate LCM of 4072,6990
2 | 4072, 6990 |
2036, 3495 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2036 x 3495 = 14231640
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/14231640
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 975/4072,726/6990 is 3/14231640
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 4072,6990 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(4072,6990) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(4072,6990) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(4072,6990) = ( 4072 × 6990 ) / 2
LCM(4072,6990) = 28463280 / 2
LCM(4072,6990) = 14231640
