Lets's calculate LCM of 905,731
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 661555
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/661555
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3048/905,1443/731 is 3/661555
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 905,731 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(905,731) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(905,731) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(905,731) = ( 905 × 731 ) / 1
LCM(905,731) = 661555 / 1
LCM(905,731) = 661555
