Lets's calculate LCM of 724,297
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 215028
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/215028
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3225/724,3490/297 is 5/215028
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 724,297 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(724,297) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(724,297) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(724,297) = ( 724 × 297 ) / 1
LCM(724,297) = 215028 / 1
LCM(724,297) = 215028
