Lets's calculate LCM of 735,597
3 | 735, 597 |
245, 199 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 245 x 199 = 146265
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/146265
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 353/735,742/597 is 1/146265
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 735,597 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(735,597) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(735,597) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(735,597) = ( 735 × 597 ) / 3
LCM(735,597) = 438795 / 3
LCM(735,597) = 146265
