So the greatest common factor 457,720 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 70,3775
5 | 70, 3775 |
14, 755 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 14 x 755 = 52850
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/52850
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 457/70,720/3775 is 1/52850
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 70,3775 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(70,3775) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(70,3775) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(70,3775) = ( 70 × 3775 ) / 5
LCM(70,3775) = 264250 / 5
LCM(70,3775) = 52850
