So the greatest common factor 408,425 is 17.
Lets's calculate LCM of 726,715
11 | 726, 715 |
66, 65 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 66 x 65 = 47190
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/47190
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 408/726,425/715 is 17/47190
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 726,715 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(726,715) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(726,715) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(726,715) = ( 726 × 715 ) / 11
LCM(726,715) = 519090 / 11
LCM(726,715) = 47190
