So the greatest common factor 1575,1209 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 720,754
2 | 720, 754 |
360, 377 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 360 x 377 = 271440
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/271440
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1575/720,1209/754 is 3/271440
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 720,754 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(720,754) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(720,754) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(720,754) = ( 720 × 754 ) / 2
LCM(720,754) = 542880 / 2
LCM(720,754) = 271440
