Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2407/543,5191/729 is 29/131949
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 543,729 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(543,729) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(543,729) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(543,729) = ( 543 × 729 ) / 3
LCM(543,729) = 395847 / 3
LCM(543,729) = 131949
