Lets's calculate LCM of 144,729
3 | 144, 729 |
3 | 48, 243 |
16, 81 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 16 x 81 = 11664
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/11664
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3531/144,9260/729 is 1/11664
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 144,729 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(144,729) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(144,729) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(144,729) = ( 144 × 729 ) / 9
LCM(144,729) = 104976 / 9
LCM(144,729) = 11664
