So the greatest common factor 20,1305 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 732,1276
2 | 732, 1276 |
2 | 366, 638 |
183, 319 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 183 x 319 = 233508
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/233508
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 20/732,1305/1276 is 5/233508
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 732,1276 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(732,1276) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(732,1276) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(732,1276) = ( 732 × 1276 ) / 4
LCM(732,1276) = 934032 / 4
LCM(732,1276) = 233508
