7 | 721, 1757 |
103, 251 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 103 x 251 = 180971
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/180971
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2109/721,5287/1757 is 1/180971
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 721,1757 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(721,1757) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(721,1757) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(721,1757) = ( 721 × 1757 ) / 7
LCM(721,1757) = 1266797 / 7
LCM(721,1757) = 180971
