So the greatest common factor 2187,4722 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 245,750
5 | 245, 750 |
49, 150 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 49 x 150 = 36750
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/36750
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2187/245,4722/750 is 3/36750
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 245,750 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(245,750) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(245,750) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(245,750) = ( 245 × 750 ) / 5
LCM(245,750) = 183750 / 5
LCM(245,750) = 36750
