Lets's calculate LCM of 720,4293
3 | 720, 4293 |
3 | 240, 1431 |
80, 477 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 80 x 477 = 343440
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/343440
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4872/720,7604/4293 is 4/343440
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 720,4293 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(720,4293) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(720,4293) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(720,4293) = ( 720 × 4293 ) / 9
LCM(720,4293) = 3090960 / 9
LCM(720,4293) = 343440
