Lets's calculate LCM of 756,728
2 | 756, 728 |
2 | 378, 364 |
7 | 189, 182 |
27, 26 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 7 x 27 x 26 = 19656
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/19656
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2123/756,2982/728 is 1/19656
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 756,728 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(756,728) = 28
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(756,728) x common factors =28 x 1 = 28
LCM(756,728) = ( 756 × 728 ) / 28
LCM(756,728) = 550368 / 28
LCM(756,728) = 19656
