Lets's calculate LCM of 732,285
3 | 732, 285 |
244, 95 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 244 x 95 = 69540
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/69540
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 492/732,920/285 is 4/69540
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 732,285 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(732,285) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(732,285) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(732,285) = ( 732 × 285 ) / 3
LCM(732,285) = 208620 / 3
LCM(732,285) = 69540
