Lets's calculate LCM of 726,789
| 3 | 726, 789 |
| 242, 263 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 242 x 263 = 190938
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/190938
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 354/726,949/789 is 1/190938
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 726,789 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(726,789) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(726,789) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(726,789) = ( 726 × 789 ) / 3
LCM(726,789) = 572814 / 3
LCM(726,789) = 190938
