Lets's calculate LCM of 872,729
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 635688
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/635688
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 329/872,2957/729 is 1/635688
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 872,729 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(872,729) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(872,729) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(872,729) = ( 872 × 729 ) / 1
LCM(872,729) = 635688 / 1
LCM(872,729) = 635688
