Lets's calculate LCM of 725,175
5 | 725, 175 |
5 | 145, 35 |
29, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 5 x 29 x 7 = 5075
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5075
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1985/725,4346/175 is 1/5075
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 725,175 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(725,175) = 25
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(725,175) x common factors =25 x 1 = 25
LCM(725,175) = ( 725 × 175 ) / 25
LCM(725,175) = 126875 / 25
LCM(725,175) = 5075
