Lets's calculate LCM of 735,537
3 | 735, 537 |
245, 179 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 245 x 179 = 131565
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/131565
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 212/735,370/537 is 2/131565
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 735,537 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(735,537) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(735,537) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(735,537) = ( 735 × 537 ) / 3
LCM(735,537) = 394695 / 3
LCM(735,537) = 131565
