So the greatest common factor 2717,3718 is 143.
Lets's calculate LCM of 756,3900
2 | 756, 3900 |
2 | 378, 1950 |
3 | 189, 975 |
63, 325 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 63 x 325 = 245700
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 143/245700
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2717/756,3718/3900 is 143/245700
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 756,3900 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(756,3900) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(756,3900) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(756,3900) = ( 756 × 3900 ) / 12
LCM(756,3900) = 2948400 / 12
LCM(756,3900) = 245700
