Lets's calculate LCM of 726,626
2 | 726, 626 |
363, 313 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 363 x 313 = 227238
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/227238
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 289/726,255/626 is 17/227238
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 726,626 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(726,626) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(726,626) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(726,626) = ( 726 × 626 ) / 2
LCM(726,626) = 454476 / 2
LCM(726,626) = 227238
