Lets's calculate LCM of 729,360
3 | 729, 360 |
3 | 243, 120 |
81, 40 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 81 x 40 = 29160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/29160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4617/729,9228/360 is 3/29160
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 729,360 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(729,360) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(729,360) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(729,360) = ( 729 × 360 ) / 9
LCM(729,360) = 262440 / 9
LCM(729,360) = 29160
