Lets's calculate LCM of 840,750
2 | 840, 750 |
3 | 420, 375 |
5 | 140, 125 |
28, 25 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 5 x 28 x 25 = 21000
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/21000
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 391/840,426/750 is 1/21000
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 840,750 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(840,750) = 30
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(840,750) x common factors =30 x 1 = 30
LCM(840,750) = ( 840 × 750 ) / 30
LCM(840,750) = 630000 / 30
LCM(840,750) = 21000
